I always was in favour of an opennet, and I dont like the idea of a
semi-opennet. I think this idea only came up because some are against an opennet
in general. In fact its just a hack: and most here on the list uttered no
satisfaction about all those hacks which made it easier to connect to each 
other...

sidekick to nextgens: is this message from Ian clearly enough stated?

One intersting note:

Toad states: if there is an opennet, nobody would use the darknet...

Well if there is no need for a darknet, why we talk about it? Either there is a
need, and it was good you built a darknet. Or nobody wants a darknet and there
never will be success with darknet.

If really nobody wants to use darknet, whats the point in keeping it with all
forces?

In fact I think toad is right, but my conclusion is completly different. Three
months of 0.7 leads me to the conclusion that darknet is not a killer feature.
