The intention is to let you insert or request a key from the rest of Freenet even if it's already in your data store. The implementation is that it deletes the key from your data store first. It's supposed to help you propagate a key. Assume for the moment that you have a Freenet site, which you have inserted through your node. But other people can't reach it -- maybe because all of the nodes to which you inserted it originally, other than your own, have gone away. If you re-insert it through your own node, nothing will happen -- you already have the key, so it just spits back a KEYCOLLISION (fcpputsite terminology) and the key isn't propagated. But if you remove the key from your local data store, and *then* insert it, then it can be propagated to other nodes. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
