But it <strong>does not inform you of this</strong>. I for one greatly value my online privacy and can't say I'm very pleased with the way this works. There should either be a dialog when it's started for the first time informing you of exactly your default 'identity' settings are and that his info is dumped into channel when you leave it... or should it fill in some random bogus information. If this can not be changed I'd go as far as to suggest a different client which does a better job at keeping your personal info personal.
