This is exactly what I was attempting (poorly, it seems) to ask. What I had meant to ask originally was "would it be possible to 'split up' the freenet into subspaces _without compromising anonymity_". I, thoughtlessly, didn't make that clear of course, assuming that it was implied. Whoops. So my subspace scenario is not possible. I am crushed. :P Oh well, life goes on. Thanks to all who responded. --Sam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
