This is *specifically* why I wish bkw (Brian West) would turn off that flag on 
the channel.

In order to combat spam bots infiltrating the channel, it is set up to only 
allow freenode-registered nicknames.

In order to register your nickname with freenode, send a "/msg nickserv help" 
command once you're on freenode.  NickServ is a Nickname Server bot -- it 
will let you register a nickname and set a password so your nickname can't be 
"stolen".  

Identd is *not* required.
