Like I said, wondering, I didn't mean to take it out on you or the moderators, and I have apologized.

As for the preference issue, if it is a software problem that the software expert posted about in 2002, in my opinion, it IS a Limewire problem, after 5 years, I would think Limewire would have found a fix. After all, it is a Limewire problem, and should be posted on the main page under FAQ. I had to go onto a forum such as this in order for me to search through the many posts to find it. And therefore, yes it is Limewire's fault for not keeping paid users informed on their main webpage and finding a fix to a 5 year old problem.

As for the firewalls and Java, nobody knows what came first, the chicken or the egg. Again, I think it would be the right thing for Limewire to put this in their FAQs at least, and give potential members a heads up on the potential problems. But yes, its a business and that would scare off potential customers.

So again, sorry, our animosity is NOT directed at you or your fellow moderators. We do appreciate a service like this.
