command to list all the members, not just the count.

I'm willing to create this module, but only if you're really sure you want it. The reason you might not, is because it will require doing a whois on every member for the bot. This means that it will take a large chunk of memory, and also a long time where no other operatiois can be performed by the bot. For example, if for some reason your bot times out on 5 members (mine times out running off cable), that is 2 and a half minutes where the bot is totally frozen, plus at least 5 seconds for each other member. For large bots, this could be more crippling than helpful. I don't suggest this, but if you really want it, I'm willing.

My mistake then. I don't use much with the member list because I'm running my bot public. I'll start on this when I get a chance.
