Zlatin, our sponsored results are very upfront. They are clearly marked as "(Sponsored Results)" so users can ignore them like they do for Google AdWords.

Sam, you misunderstood my point. I was telling Greg that the only way he can ensure that some feature of LimeWire isn't used to spam is by closing off Spammers access to those features, i.e. closing the source. Feel free to add a spam filter to LimeWire - sponsored results aren't spam.

Greg, why are you excising a feature that allows artists and content creators to get paid for their labor and ingenuity? Does the Linux open source community not build imap and pop mail clients because it may open Linux users to spam?

Thanks!
