Alright guys, this thread has gotten a bit unproductive. I'm tempted to close it, but I'm hoping that we might be able to reach some resolution on this.

All I can say is that it's definitely difficult for everyone to see eye to eye on everything -- lord knows I have problems with this myself quite frequently. The three primary contributors to this thread are also three of the most energetic and almost always beneficial contributors on this forum. So, I guess I just ask that everyone use their knowledge in a productive way. When conflicts come up, it would be good if we could try to be a bit more cooperative.

I have to admit that I have gotten frusrated with VTOLFreak's posts on various occasions (no offense, man, but it's the truth!), but I have to agree with Morgwen's point that it's healthy to have a little disagreement. Also, you (VTOLFreak) clearly have considerable knowledge, particularly for 15 year old. Morgwen and anti-bearshare are two of the most consistently helpful people on this forum. And, come on, anti-bearshare runs Free-BSD -- you gotta like that.

At the same time, we would definitely appreciate it if users would treat us with respect. That doesn't go just for us, though -- I feel strongly that everyone on the forum should be treated with respect -- particularly when we disagree.

So, anyway, sorry this is getting a little long and turning into some strange rant/philosophical meandering. Let's just get this thing (Gnutella) rolling like it should be and show a little respect for each other's efforts.

Plus, it just hurts me to see you guys fight. It makes me feel like I'm a failure as a moderator or something, you know? Does nobody think about me around here? Just kidding.
