Well, you have a point there. To be honest, I don't spend very much time paying attention to this stuff. Certainly not to the point where I know every type of file-sharing system that exists and what type of technology it uses. I wasn't aware that those (eDonkey, WinMX) were distinct filesharing networks. I thought they were just different clients or something.

Whatever. This is getting silly. I don't want to argue semantics or talk politics. I just wanted to find out what was going on with these weird hits I was getting. And I was surprised that spammers had already devised a way to bend "peer-to-peer file-sharing technology" (to use the technically correct, inclusive term) to their own slimy ends. That's all.
