Oh, absolutely. Just remember that this organically-grown code base started off doing just the CB stats from an Xchat plugin, so the only info I had were nicks, not IDs. Only later did it morph to periodically retrieving from the PM server directly, after first having morphed into a standalone IRC client. So it's actually relatively recently that I even had access to the node IDs, but since everything seemed to work, I didn't really notice that there was this minor flaw :-)
Re-writing from scratch might be an option one day. But not likely too soon. :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
