All the while using OUR resources to improve YOUR users experience so you can serve up more ads and put $$$ in your pocket.

"We spent a lot of $$ to allow anyone experimenting with a Gnutella servant to easily connect to the network"

Another "Gift to Gnutella"? Anyone with a static IP or cable modem could do this for almost nothing. It takes less than 1K to send a few IPs and disconnect. Your web page takes way more, better take it down too.
You only did this out of greed, during your period of inve$tment proposals so you look good. Now that that is over, you take it down. You don't even support your own network, won't spend the $30 a month for a cable modem. Greed sucks!
The one service you could provide to Gnutella, you took away. Greed sucks!
You do point out how network resources do cost you money, and how you are concerned about that, but when it's FREE network resources off of the backs of us file swappers, you don't seem to care about that.
LimeWire clustering is not the big point here, the way BearShare clusters and passes spy packets may be of more concern, but it's the fact that corporations see Gnutella as a profit center and want to spam us to death and use our resources to spam others.
Corporations will not be happy till my computer sits there all day showing ads and figure out a way to make me sit here and watch them all day without providing any services to me. And at no cost to them. Ultimate greed.
The XML stuff was argued on the_gdf and you went ahead anyway because you are the only ones who can support it (and are still the only ones who do in over 6 months now). You knew it would only give you a advantage because everyone said so on the_gdf and you ignored them over $$$.

I noticed you are avoiding the issue of sucking off our CPU cycles, no excuses? It is the central point in your business plan to use us to support your business so I can see why you don't want to comment.

KathW, this is a debate and it may get a little rough, hang in there!
