Shows a total lack of understanding of end-users. shapeshifter910 is a very typical end-user. It seems if an end-user speaks up, the FW devs see it as spam/trolling/insulting. I've seen that previously with different non p2p software with super-arrogant developers (The forum was full of their arrogance & disregard of the users of the software.) The FW manipulation of users was caught out & you know it. Caught short on words to excuse the FW team so you turn to not only dispelling such users who can see with more than half an eye open, but categorising them rather insultingly when the issue was the program itself & the sneaky dev's project to gain money via these add-ons which have nothing whatsoever to do with the gnutella network, other than making money out of the users indirectly.

Be more up-front! Let people know you are making money out of these additions rather than installing them sneakily. Let people know their bandwidth might be used to assist with updates for other persons. Let them know about these things. They are NOT trolls. They are the typical FW users. They simply want answers, AND if they disapprove then to be able to disable such options easily before installation. Any such 3rd party installation should be optional, not by default. This should be plainly explained on the FW site, not only on the installer. Otherwise you give the impression of sneaky cheating of the users faith in the software.

If you find the wording of the above paragraph too strong & it upsets you, then hand it to another FW dev. Think, think, think how to deal with it. Think how to make the FW users happy. And that's not by trying to sneak junkware past their noses.
