However this is easy to avoid with a couple of plugins 1. `/query botname` 1. `load Aka` 1. `load ` meaning to load either Reply or Utilities 1. `aka add announce " You didn't mean for me to send that message everywhere, so I am hijacking it instead"` - here again one is picked, "utilities echo" will just repeat the message on channel while "reply reply" will ping you. The name of the plugin is specified in case the command "echo" or "reply" was in multiple plugins. 1. `defaultplugin announce aka` so that when `announce` is called, it's assumed that our new `aka` is meant instead of Owner which is an important plugin and loaded by default.
