I have made no secret of the fact that BS is my favorit client. I used LW first but found BS to work better for me. I continue to try other clients but always go back to BS becasue it has the features that work best for ME. I have no problems with people that use other clients. I really could care less if everyone uses bearshare or not. Everyone has their own reasons for why they like one client over the other. In case you never venture around you will also find me posting at the_gdf, gnucleus.net, in the LW forums and where ever else I see fit. I am indeed a fan of gnutella and have been working hard to help contribute what I can to its improvement. It does not take the ability to write code to UNDERSTAND gnutella and the networking. I am not a programer but as far as I know no one else in this thread has a client or has contributed significant code to a client, so if you ask me to stop contributing my IDEAS (and I wont) I would ask you to do the same.
