Hey!

What are they?  Pretty much what they are called is what they do.
They cloak your real hostname on IRC (user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) with
something fictitious, or, in our case... sexy. :-)

What can you have as a cloak?  Well we're talking about "group" cloaks
here, so it must include "sxemacs" at the end.  They usually take the
form: 

        user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For example, Sebastian Freundt who has the nick "hroptatyr" on IRC
might have a cloak like:

        asathor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The "devel" is variable, you don't need to have that, you can have
something else.  But you can't change it once it is set.  However, to
put across a more consistent (even professional) look, I suggest we go
with "devel".

How do you get one?  There is only one way... ask me.  Oh, and you
must have a registered nick on IRC.

So, who wants one?
