I'm curious - for those of you who have had success with the Darknet approach, how did you approach your peers? Did you happen to know in person three people who frequent this mailing list, or did you e-mail a link to the freenet home page to a few friends and say "are you interested?" Once you did... what was on your network? Were you all pulling things off of Usenet and WWW or ripping CD tracks and injecting them into your personal network? Did you find it worthwhile? I'm not sure that I'd go so far as to say that small, isolated networks are _useless_ per se, but when it's a "totally anonymous" network of just three or four people... Do any of you know (or have some sort of guesstimate) as to how big your small, isolated network became (or currently is)?
