BTW...

Don't worry about any of this junk...

And, the poll is flawed because it does NOT include the ONLY rational reason for wishing to disable others from Browsing you...

It takes a whole big basketful of bandwidth !
A lot in comparison to that which is needed for many other things...
It's a really nice feature... It doesn't really bother me and I usually have it enabled...

The only other 'real threat' is that some people are sometimes going to Browse you and say, "Hmmm, OK... I'll just download ALL of it !!!"....
lol... It happens, a lot !
Sort of 'skews' the old sharing statistics, hmmm ?


Why shouldn't you worry ?
Because if you have not installed PeerGuardian than you're not really trying to protect yourself.

PeerGuardian blocks the IPs of the above mentioned baddies...
