The issue with my university was that P2P applications do not let anybody control who connects to your computer. Each person has to be responsible for the connections being made to the machine. Clearly F2F network is *not* a subset of P2P under that light. So many users will (rightly) call you an idiot (since we were not discussing peers and friends, but P2P and F2F). - Volodya -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast http://www.freedomporn.org/ Freedom Porn, anarchist and activist smut "None of us are free until all of us are free." ~ Mihail Bakunin _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
