Howdy, member of freenode staff here.

I haven't been in a position to speak to other staff since reading this email.

For now, with no further knowledge on my part, I would strongly advise
against using the same password on multiple networks if you value the
accounts involved. I would also advise that if you do, that you at
least don't let one of those networks know the others. This is
especially important if your services account has +o,+f etc in our
channels.

Apologies to tap if i'm being a little hasty, i'll be glad to retract
and apologise later.

Pricey
