Re:As I see it (Score 1)

I'll make sure and use my spell-check on this one! I participated in Freenet for several months.Being a "newbie" to the system, I waited patiently for my node to "mature", with associated improvements in performance. I did not expect Freenet to be anything like the internet in terms of performance; I did expect to be able to move about, slowly but surely. What I found was that performance was worse, rather than better (or the same). I was actually quite reluctant to do so, but I disengaged. The primary reason was that I was allowing an open node into something that seemed quite unstable. I do not "P2P" anywhere, and my support for Freenet is entirely philosophical, but I have to be practical, too. I hope that this helps explain what some of we "expatriates" are thinking.
