It's not anything to do specifically with LW or any other Gnutella Network client.
No, I am not defending LW- You'll never catch me doing anything that is so socially irresponsible!

The garbage is part of the current system which is continuously under attack from mercenaries working for industries, governments and 'special interest groups'-
Plus idiots and fools- meaning 'us' because 'we' are the network.
PLUS any member of the Gnutella Network community who allows incomplete download sharing.

If you haven't first tested a file then you should never share it.
Shame on all developers who continue to use default settings on install that include 'Partial File Sharing'. (Or, worse, even require it!)
They are after 'efficiency' at the eventual cost of the network.

We are in a different world now and no file should ever be offered for sharing that has not been first completely tested.

The garbage is, ultimately, our fault if we do not self-police our own network.
This means that BITZI also cannot benefit us if we do not make the effort to 'feed' BITZI when we encounter a rogue file.
The survival of Gnutella Network is our responsibility and depends on no one else.

btw- Try a search using only your own name spelled backwards.
Make a note of the file sizes and types!
Avoid all similar files.


Speaking of spam, Gretsky09 sure does have a pong about him!
Nice sig
