Since I don't care about following versions or any further changes the point is
moot. It does the job exactly as I want and will do so forever. This is a case
where contributing worked and nobody can take away the result. To all the
BearShare insiders left over after Free Peers was mugged, that makes it free
enough. Something better and "free-er" will come along later, but not for
quite awhile because BearShare was well in the lead when genuine development
was killed by the RIAA and it's little iMesh lapdog.

Anyway, quibbling about semantics only a few know or care about is beside the point.
Let's get back to the science and sport of slaughtering the enemy in the field.

Does Phex have the ability to filter search results by hash? I have been
saving them up for a couple of years now and they cover virtually all of the
bad stuff. The LimeWire guys are working on it now and GTK has added the
ability last year. I'd like to be able to contribute to All the major servents at
once because the resulting panic among the spammers will be fun to watch.
The sudden extinction of several worms and several of the largest fake farms
would also be as welcome as the sudden demise of OverPeer last year. ;]

I think I'll add Phex to my stable now. Might as well get a good look at it now
that it's regained some momentum and is starting to become a spamfighter.
