I agree with ya here Norm. Unfortunately, the reason for the "forced" upgrade is.... the newer LimeWire versions include GWebCache support, and GWebCaches are required to connect to the Gnutella network.
Perhaps LW should offer a free Pro patch that allows GWebCache support, and connection to the network for older LW Pro versions... but without all the other features & enhancements of newer versions.
