You'd be surprised the no. of people out there who believe that if they can't browse someone then they consider that person is a leecher/Freeloader.

And people like myself like to browse people to see if they have more of what they find in searches. eg: find a song in the search results, then browse to see if they have more songs by that same artist. Or photos of Mt. Everest. Obviously someone who's been there may just have lots of them.

If you don't want people browsing particular files then why share them. There is a certain amount of anonymity in p2p. After all, the person who browses you might be over the opposite side of the world. Just IMHO

I also believe that your questionaire poll is rather silly the way it's been set up with limited options. Another mod may come along & adjust it. It is designed for only a highly biased outcome ... . 2 options is not enough! What about the people who totally disagree with your point of view or wording or are mixed somewhere in the middle of the extremes. You make it sound like there are spies out there. And why shouldn't people be allowed to know if someone is sharing "0".
