more arguments for an existing GDF lobbying

- GDF was/is long hidden from public, mentioned on no vendor homepage, still not listed in groups listing
- a documentation of protocol was not available long time, still chaotic
- support of new developers does not exist, of course GDF members have a working client already
- dissing against Xolox was unfair or tolerated, communication was not tried/wanted by GDF
- clustering takes users/files away from other (independent) vendors, superpeer clustering is a self created bottleneck
- clustering and blocking was tolerated for GDF member Bearshare, now also for Limewire
- proprietary messages and undocumented extensions from Bearshare are tolerated
- spyware/sumware in Bearshare and Limewire are tolerated
- public statistics from LW's crawler are inacurate, mode changes without notice, no statistics for everyone
- Bearshare and Limewire saying they have the best Gnutella client and being "the establishment"
