Lord: It is obvious Limewire users are facing a NEW "Clear and Present Danger" in the past 60 days. We must face the fact that Limewire is being attacked from within/without. But with that being obvious now, why are we continuing to get "patch" type fix suggestions from you (none of which have worked for me, personally) when there is a true systemic problem. I cannot connect through Los Angeles Verizon (and Verizon claims no LW blocking), but NO ONE of five friends, with diffrent providers and different locations (50 miles away) are able to connect also. This situation is NEW for all of us.

Is it not time for LW to start looking for the overall, systemic problem? This is not a rhetorical gibe, as I am a computer illiterate, but I do make my living as a corporate systems analyzer. Will you please respond to this query, as the whole community is very confused. Why can you not start some detective work at your end? I'll bet you a dollar the problem will turn out to be a major issue of attack from one of your detractors, rather than a problem of individual providers, co-incidently, trying to shut us down. Lets face...it defies logic. Thanx, goodkid

P.S. I would like to hear others thoughts on what I just posted as well.
