The issue with my university was that P2P applications do not let anybody
control who connects to your computer. Each person has to be responsible for
the
connections being made to the machine. Clearly F2F network is *not* a subset of
P2P under that light. So many users will (rightly) call you an idiot (since we
were not discussing peers and friends, but P2P and F2F).
