If this is what you mean by a specification, then I'd say it's so hopelessly vague and general as to be useless. You may as well say, "The network should by anonymous." Actually, you did. You said, "The best routing mechanism is the fastest one that is anonymous for all parties." No kidding! I mean, who *wouldn't* agree with that? If this is what you want everyone to agree to, then we're already there. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you. Do you have a flog? I read all the flogs I find. If this is your thing, then why not come up with a rough draft or outline, post it to your flog, and call for comments? You're obviously not getting the response you want on devl, but that doesn't (necessarily) mean your idea is bad and it doesn't (necessarily) mean the devl crowd is stupid. It just means there's a disconnect. -todd _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
