Cyberstalker, I apologize if I seemed to be snapping at you -- no snap was intended. At the same time, I am disappointed in your choice of language and tone in your reply. My point is a pretty simple one -- if you can't or won't share files, then I believe you shouldn't be downloading them. That's all I was trying to say. And I appreciate that you are now sharing.

Wondering Why, it seems that you and I differ in our definition of freeloader. Someone who downloads many files and only shares one is, in my view, a freeloader. And I guess I don't really care what the reason is for the lack of sharing. However, I would not accuse you of shooting off at the mouth, as I believe you were just expressing your opinion.

And, having read the various expressions of opinion about who attracts notice from the RIAA and other regulatory bodies, I have cut my own file sharing down below 1000 mp3's. Hope that makes it safer.
