Have fun!

I advise you not to do that, the message check of Cookie's is reliable, whereas deAd's and the name check method can fail.  Well Cookie's can too, but only when you and the contact in the message send the exact same message, but their's is recieved between your sent message and recieving it back.  But that is a far more extreme case (and deAd's method woul also fail in these circumstances, plus more).  As or the name checking, that can easily be fooled (if you contact steals your name or you use stuff plug for example).  And you cannot combine these in any way either so there is no point, otherwise you just get conflicting ideas....
