It's long-winded to set %cc for both $nick and $chan and then tokenize it. The original demo is shorter to the point. You do that when you have more than 2 longer values or more to refer to under one variable. You should've made a valid, targeted suggestion about how he should improve his script rather than come out with your own scripts just to overshadow the posted snippet. I would call that "my take on your script" instead of a "tip."
