Yup >[hostile statement removed upon reconsideration. To sum it up in a >non-hostile fashion, while I understand that drastic measures may be nessesary to fix the routing issues that freenet is currently experiencing, do you seriously believe that throwing off everyone with shitty connectivity is the solution? I'll accept it if this is seriously believed, right, but i'm sure everyone understands that I don't really wish to be thrown off freenet, despite the voices in my head sometimes telling me otherwise :-p] I assume the shitty connectivity is punishment enough really :) Hopefully it will not be done this way, it was just an idea. It is always good to get peoples reactions on ideas (even the unconventional ones). /N _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
