We got a similar mail and we figured that it was from some rivaling irc
person, that would explain the "3l33t" typing.
However this did not change the fact that they where right. upon loging in
to ircnet(tried efnet first ;)) if found the nick to be online using on of
our hosts.
So basicly its probably from someone who dont like SNK- and trying to stop
him from using your host to irc from.
