Slightely confused here ukbobby01

when I said "...P2P being an immensely powerful and liberating application for PCs, putting one in touch with millions and involving moral choices not often presented in everyday life is unsuitable for unsupervised use by minors"

That was really my conclusion. When I say parental control I mean the parent supervising the child and not the parent relying on some software options like password protected filter switches - which in itself is not a bad feature.

So I believe we are in accord. Mind you, I know some parents could trust their kid to use p2p sensibly.
