Well, I have never heard or read that Toad said that, but the response to anyone that did say that is that the darknet is there so that it is available to those that need it. If people don't need the security offered by participating in a darknet, then they should use the opennet. > If really nobody wants to use darknet, whats the point in keeping > it with all > forces? Even if most people don't need a darknet, it doesn't mean that nobody needs a darknet. I would expect that the people that most need Freenet probably need a darknet, but the majority of Freenet users probably don't fall into that category. > In fact I think toad is right, but my conclusion is completly > different.
