help text
Usage: NOTICE <nick|#channel> <message> Sends a message into a channel or to a specific user. Usually reserved for important messages. Examples: /notice #help Check out our new web page. /notice Richard What time is the meeting? Notices are much like messages (see PRIVMSG), but notices may be easier to notice for some users. Also no bot (program that looks like a person on the chat network but only replies automatically to set commands) should ever reply to a notice. Bots reply to messages and send notices, this prevents the possibility of an infinite loop between two bots.
