You are absolutely correct. As far as I can tell, they are completely
ignoring the subtleties. They have no interest in sorting between
"good" and "bad" Freenet users -- anyone using P2P is a bad egg in
their book.

This is discussion item #1 on freenet-dev. It'd be cool if Travis
would summarize the discussion in the next Freenet News. B-) I'm
highly partisan and wouldn't give a fair summary.

are off and I'm not updating Pigdog Journal in Freenet (sorry,
folks).
