Try it and find out.  Please let us know how it goes.  BTW, when..., uh, I
mean, "if" you get busted, please don't hesitate to call upon the
Cypherpunks Prisoner Dialogue and Support Service.  It's a little
something we've set up here at c'punks for folks just like yourselves whom
we are loathe to see imprisoned for something so trite as stealing ops on
public communications channels, reading/changing private communications
(yes, IRC can go 'private'), and forging other people's IDs.  We supply
underwear, cigarettes, and rubbers (never know when you're gonna become
someone's 'boy', now do ya?) as well as pen-pals from around the country.

Enjoy your IRC hacking experience!
