If it is so important - *you* set up the bloody script!  If not, don't give 
me a hard time for not doing something you aren't willing to do yourself.

Freenet is very appropriate for large files, it is not as appropriate for 2k 
webpage which doesn't require anonymity.  The way we market Freenet to people 
unconcerned about anonymity is as a BitTorrent alternative, not as a general 
web replacement, we just make ourselves look silly when we argue that.

I DID NOT argue that, I said that Freenet isn't the most appropriate way to 
disseminate small webpages which don't require anonymity - which is patently 
TRUE!  I want my blog to be easily visible to people, such that it will 
perhaps attract new Freenet users and give people an insite into its 
development.  crusading for more Freenet content is a laudable pursuit, but 
it isn't fair for you to expect me to pursue that crusade in everything I do.

my expertise is in advancing the core Freenet architecture, it is not in 
providing content for Freenet.  which would you rather I spend my time doing?

I DON'T HAVE TIME!  If you actually read my blog - you would notice that I
have 101 things going on, one of which is making sure that Freenet actually
*works* and keeps getting better, irrespective of whose content is available
from it.  You would also notice that I have time to write about 1 blog entry
every 5 months - meaning that it wouldn't be a particularly useful or popular
Freesite at the best of times.
