OK, I have just subscribed to LimeWire's development forums. But for a 
technical discussion, I need technical arguments why LimeWire's current 
behaviour is especially bad. Several questions come to my mind:

- Does LW drop long queries as an Ultrapeer, so that these queries are 
not even routed, or does it only ignore them when comparing to its 
local database?

- What about non-simple-keyword searches? SHA1? Are they affected? Does 
LW honour them at all? And what are those "XML queries" mentioned in 
the recent SVN commits? XML sounds like "longer than 30 bytes" to me.

- Are there other types of queries that I don't know about that tend to 
be long? Do magnet links induce special query types?

- Does LW's behaviour have a bad influence on QRP? I am not very 
familiar with the procedure that puts the keyword hash tables in place.

- How did you discover LW's behaviour? What kind of bad effect did you 
notice?

- Why was the bug not noticed during the last three years? Is it 
possible that it is not such a big problem after all?

When I clearly understand the problem, then I will try to get in contact 
with the LW developers.
