You sound like Taliban :P

Mike's already admitted that he's worked on Shareaza loooonnngg before its initial release. It seems wierd because people coming up with new clients usually like to hype it up before the first line of code is done: "Yeah I'm gonna have partial file sharing, and query meshing, and all that Gnutella stuff the other people haven't coded yet". Its basically that Mike is prioritizing what it easiest and quickest and most efficient to do. Partial file sharing isn't done yet. He did gnutella links, the easier task, before it. Gnucleus decided to do partial file sharing before gnutella links. So neither one are done for Gnucleus. Not saying its a bad decision, and I still love Gnucleus, but little examples like that pile up and make Shareaza ahead of the curve. If you look at the features implemented and the time it took, it is very possible. He doesn't seem to get cought up in Gnutella fantasies half way through coding a feature and decide to redo the whole base like many coders do. PLEASE give us an example of a security type feature that was suggested and Mike didn't respond to.
