Read the discussion. I have nothing against YaCy and I think it's a great effort. I said you can't index the whole thing on your own. The batshit comment, which I stand by, was because of the tinfoil-hat-paranoia-induced concept that you could simply download and search an index of the entire web, which was what was suggested. I get that you think you're doing something worthwhile right now - you're not.
Stop trying to 'prove' me wrong, start proving your own ideas. It never makes sense to disprove something. I'm challenging the assumptions that have been made in this thread so far, and it'd be nice to see some defense beyond "you're not nice". I'm a misanthrope, and I hate you for being human. Unfortunate, I'll give you that, but it also has no bearing on my arguments or yours.
