I'm very pleased to be in this list, and I've a question (please don't
kill me :D ):

ehm... what is a "cloak" and what is used for? I'm on IRC since 1997
more or less, but I used other networks and so I've never used this
funcionality. Could you please explain me better? Maybe other people
could be interested too :)

Thanks and best regards.
