I am a kid. I know I may be a nuisance somethimes but I am trying to learn about Gnutella in hopes that I can help others. Is that not what Gnutella is all about helping others with their problems and clients? That is why it is open source so you can do that and I think that all cliens of Gnutella should be open source but that is not my decision.

Let's say that you have a question but you want to get one on one help with it. You can register and then post it and let a one of the moderators or administrators help you. For example, you could post a question and then Paradog could be nice enough to reply to that question through a PM if it is private. If you did not register then Parado for example would not be able to contact you one on one on the forums for help
