Okay, I see your point, and you're correct. But I think you misunderstood me.

Assuming that there's a freeloader between you and me:

-- If you send a search request, I will still send a search result - because the destination is not the freeloader.

-- If the freeloader sends out a search request, neither you nor me will send a search result, because the destination is the freeloader.

I only refrain from sending the search hit if the *destination* is the freeloader. Anyone before or after this freeloader will still receive his search hits.
