GJ presented ClientDelete as a temporary kludge, and I considered the criticism of his proposal in that light. I certainly agree that it is a confusing and alien function which should never be exposed to the ordinary user. But it is not an effective way to censor content from your store, nor does it have much effect on my personal decision, as a Nazi node operator, to refuse to handle certain keys. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
