Peerless, I like both Shareaza and Limewire, and while it's pointless and stupid to advocate another piece of software in the support forum of LimeWire, you're obviously an ignorant jerk who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Shareaza uses the same chat scheme as Limewire, so even if this person who bragged to you could eavesdrop (which is extremely unlikely though I admit possible) they would be able to do it to LimeWire users also. Shareaza is not spyware, does not come bundled with any adware, and the creator has as yet indicated absolutely no interest in making any money from Shareaza. So why don't you keep your mouth shut about things you're completly ignorant about. You just end up making a fool out of yourself.
