Personally, I like the 'user at host' designation in the nick, and I'm
saddened to see that there's a way to turn it off. It helps keep track
of people who like to change nicknames all the time.  We've had a lot of
'random' people on recently (some of these are friends of TriLUG
members, which is fine) and it's nice to get an idea of who a new person
is.
