Ah! You weren't the first to receive "an uncalled for name."

As I tied to say above, saying "the software isn't worth a ****" is taken as a direct insult to all involved with that software. No one "owns" gnutella--LW is a key leader in a large group project. Insult LW and you insult all involved. "Insult my software, insult me"

Hope that helps you understand why more than a couple of people thought you were out of line and enjoyed seeing you get what you unknowingly asked for (unless you are a troll just out to instigate trouble by hiding behind an unregistered nick as some do). If you have any more questions about your posting style, you can probably get lots more answers.

This is all off-topic anyway--these forums are a lousy way to get personal therapy.

Did you want to introduce yourself and your specs and get back to the original problem?

Cheers
