One more remark: if I would be doing this I would implement this with
(at least) two layers.  First, I'd look at the IRC protocol and
implement classes that abstract this protocol.  Then I'd create a
"user friendly" layer.  In that scenario a socket would not be seen to
a User (or Nick) class because sockets would be buried in the IRC
protocol layer.

Kind regards

robert
