Hmmm... hatred?  I don't know if I know of anybody who *hates* the idea of the 
darknet - that would be some pretty amazing censorship resistance... if it 
worked.  When I first started hearing it described on here, it sounded like a 
bit of a stretch (where am I going to find three people, in real life, who run 
Freenet nodes 24x7?  How can I even explain Freenet to my non-Freenet aware but 
technologically literate friends?  Where am I going to get some friends?) but 
if it worked, I was all for it.  The problem is, people have been building 
their small-world connections for, what, two years now?  The darknet hasn't 
made it over to me yet... although it seems to be working for some of you, the 
rest of us just kind of wish for something that provided 90% anonymity that we 
could actually use.
