First post here for me.
Throughout the forums in Bearshare and Limewire there are numerous posts slagging off Bearshare and singing the praises of Limewire. I have to say that I've read nearly all of the posts in Bearshare and I haven't yet come across any references to "newbie slime". The stupidity of anyone who is not able to remember when they were a "newbie" is beyond comprehension... How does this person actually manage to type text? Delightful.

Notices to "protect" users so that they don't enable sharing of every file on their computer? Great idea! But, I think that should follow the much higher priority of installing air-bags on their keyboards in case they have a crash. Gimme a break!

The mentality that allows the attacks on "newbie slime" is a fundamental cause of many of the problems that new users encounter... Simply because they are fearful of asking their questions if it is probably going to result in flaming. None of this is a new thought or revelation!

Re: the cookies

Unless I've got this totally wrong, AnalogX's CookieWall is doing a very nice job for me, as is AnalogX's POW!
Maybe there are cookies getting through... Some say yes to that, but I haven't seen one intelligent word to prove it.

Anyway, cool it with the attacks on newbies, hmmm?
By now, I'm sure we'd all love to see some videos of unregistered falling on his *** while trying to learn how to ride a bike. Could make a number one video to share!!!

Cheers to Morgwen if he's lurking...
