BTW, this is not necessarily a boolean choice (should the default be true or false). For example, while we are in the mood to make checkboxes, we could have these (both default to false): [ ] Connect to strangers (needed if you don't have friends using Freenet). [ ] Send a report if installation fails (using HTTPS). And, in this example, clicking the first box could select the second (as the first requires a HTTPS connection anyway). So another option is that the default be "if they use opennet". -- Robert Hailey
