Moak,
I understand your concern for the "good of the network". But the reality is that Gnutella was never, nor should it ever be set up for optimum effiency. Do you really think that all the people on Napster were sharing files? No. There were pleanty of people that free loaded, and Napster ran just fine. Gnutella will run fine. Give people the option... if you don't want to serve free loaders, make sure your servant is set to check for free loaders. But, if I want to serve free loaders, then I should be able to do so. That is the freedom of Gnutella.

I am not trying to pick a fight, I am only stating my opinion.
