Fair enough- The point in my other e-mail is that even if Opennet is banned in Realm X, if we can darknet from X to Y, where it isn't banned, We can then use Opennet to talk to country Z, from which we've never met anyone.
I know that Opennet is already in the cards, so this message is only really intended to help convince you of why I think it's important. I'd rather that you believe in it, rather than viewing it as politically necessary ;) Although perhaps not until January, Opennet seems destined. If nothing else, Ian wants it strongly. As the founder and public face of freenet, that alone will ensure it happens, it's just a matter of when ;) -Colin On Aug 31, 2006, at 3:35 PM, Matthew Toseland wrote: > I'm not denying that we may end up with several darknets which are > only > loosely connected.
