Sorry if I sounded like being really offended. That wasn't my intention. Please notice that with Freenet, you created something which is an important part of the life of people such as me (which is nice!). If you suggest giving up on Freenet, this hurts those people, so you get emotional replies. > I agree with many > of the disadvantages of doing this.

Those are usually the same people who don't write code; so their verdict is doubtful. Often, they're also random nicknames which haven't even been on the IRC channel / list for longer than a few days; so the NSA attack does sound sort of probable. > Whatever we call it, it's possible that Tahrir might be > of interest to them (it wouldn't be depriving Freenet of anything because > such people are unlikely to contribute to Freenet). Is it our responsibility to spend our time and mailing list space to advertise different projects? :) They'll for sure find Tahir from Wikipedia etc. if it better suits them. No need to go all spineless and anti-advertise against ourself on our own space. (I know Tahir is your work; and I am not trying to judge upon it! It here is just an example for me; it doesn't matter that the specific value of $project is Tahir here, I think this discussion can be answered in a generic way. If people recommended to replace Freenet with any other project, my reply would have been the same.) -- hopstolive (keyword for Ians spam filter)
