PLEASE tell me you were joking when you chose 1, please please please tell me you were joking when you said you were going to ignore the user and just make a client based on network performance. Lets give an example:

"I say bob, lots of people are getting slow download speeds!"
"The upload end must be the problem, lets change it"
"I say bob, how about removing the upload slot number and just hard codeing like 2 or 3?"
"Yea, people will like that" (people) "NO WE WONT!"
"well, you're going to learn to like it because we don't care what you say!" (people) "well kiss us good bye while I leave for better clients!"

Do you really think this is GOOD? You want to force options on people and you think they will enjoy it? They really won't...the whole reason I left bearshare was because that is EXACTLY what they did, and limewire didn't do that...do you want me to be posting in, say a shareaza forum, how I left limewire because they forced options on me?

You shouldn't have to recode a client just to get your options back!

I think you should put a "view" option in, one for Average User, one for Advanced User, one for Pro User....can you do that instead?

Again, please please please tell me you were joking when you said 1.
