Hi all (get registered zab--I've been hoping you'd introduce yourself so we all could welcome you and then grill you mercilessly with all sorts of questions )

--Is there supposed to be firewall detection? Both 3.9.6 and 3.9.7 connected as Ultrapeers and didn't pick up on the fact my built-in firewall was ON (I'd forgotten to turn it off). I thought something was odd when I didn't see any incoming in the Connections Pane, and no uploads in Monitors. Luser error, LOL.

--thanks for the update on the previous notes Sam. I mostly use the tooltip to see long filenames (rarely to look at metadata), so will miss that feature in the regular releases.

--I second et voilą's idea of the porn filter being on by default. It won't stop all, but it's at least a bit more than a token gesture.

--btw--I like the way the alternate sources are totaled at the end of the results line. Much more intuitive and informative.

cheers--I'm looking forward to reading the reviews of 4, watching the effect on http://www.limewire.com/english/content/uastats.shtml and hope Philippe's work on the gweb cache's cuts down on the "can't connect" posts.

[edit--spelling correction--sorry]
