Your logic is flawed. You are saying that if the user can do what they want with Tor (browse the web anonymously), then they should use Tor. I agree. That means that the users that should be considering Freenet don't have the option of using Tor, because Tor doesn't meet their needs. So users won't, in fact, be choosing between Freenet and Tor, because they do different things. Ian. -- Ian Clarke CEO, Uprizer Labs Email: ian at uprizer.com Cell: +1 512 422 3588
