Again, please get off Google Groups. Have a look at how your posts come out:

Note how your quoted text is double-spaced. This is one of the most
obvious and obnoxious problems, though not the only one.

You have two problems here. Firstly, comparing strings with 'is' is
wrong in most cases[1], so stick with ==. And secondly, my crystal
ball says that you're typing "/quit" and pressing enter, so your
socket read will be "/quit\r\n" or "/quit\n". To properly handle this,
you'll need to buffer and split as I was describing.
