Erm how is it actively destructive? It doesn't interact with the current network, no ones asked for any new code for the build that is being run be the network (though thanks is due to toad once again, he helped reskill sort the anon filter bug that was in the build initially) which is supportive and appreciated. >>If you go beyond all the posturing, here, all fid is is an active >>encouragement for people to put their datastores on strike.

Hmmm it's all been the devs saying you guys are so wrong it's unbelievable, you have done it yourself " based more on voodoo than fact" Would you like to clarify voodoo for me? I'd of thought throwing a whole bunch of shiny new features that haven't been tested into a reasonably working network and hoping it'll improve it, as being the same as throwing a load of food scraps into a frying pan and hoping it'll be edible. >>I don't see any reason for the developers to be friendly with, or even >>accommodating of, such a project.

"Rebuttals of similar quality" >>is a good, responsible practice. This attitude is the sort of tabloid rubbish that landed the whole issue on /. The code that is being run on the network is pure freenet source, no hacks, no modifications other than to keep it from interfering with the main network, so they are running freenet, an old build but freenet nether the less. To illustrate a point isn't freenet china still running network based on 0.4? Just as the build is old doesn't detract from a projects roots, I've never expected the dev team to be as supportive as they have been, and knew that they'd never link to a second build, as the higher members have always been to ignorant of the users anyway. >>Cheers >>--hobbs Pete _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
