I should have mentioned that it is a little too late to lie low. Anyways, we shouldn't be worried about the people who want us in jail in Indonesia. We should be far more worried about the corporate lawyers in places like the United States (and Sweden, but there are far more per unit population here than there) who really want to sue our collective asses. In a sort of ironic way, I really hope that AOL wins the lawsuit between it and MP3Board.com so that we will have a precedent that is in our favor (what is particulary ironic about this is that I particularly hate AOL (which is not a friend of free speech in any way)). > > > This project has had an absurd amount of press time compared what we have > > > achieved.

Obviously I don't know. Yeah, maybe I should slow down work on fnclient (I've done a total rewrite recently - which will be released soon) and actually do work on Freenet itself. I'll probably put off working on nfreenetd until Freenet gets more mature and development slows down. -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
