The thing is that Freenet is very good at doing one-to-many
communication (such as a BBS), but, IMHO, it may not work
so well as for one-to-one or many-to-one communication, such
as e-mail.

For the record, I have stoped working on the DNS-over-Freenet
because it needs a SECURE public namespace to work. There
might be a way to do it with SSKs and CHKs only, but I haven't
found it yet. The only ones I've thought of or have been suggested
suffer from the same problems the current DNS system
does.

Theory is when you know how it works, but fails. Practice is when something
works, but you don't know why. Here, Theory and Practice come together.
Nothing works, and nobody knows why.
