The point is: Sharereactor is gone.  If it were to exist published
anonymously, this wouldn't be happening, and we wouldn't be having this
discussion.

Yes, I have tried doing things with freenet.  Freenet does work, and has
for quite some time now.  My point was exactly that, that I don't
propose a new plug that reinvents the wheel.  Make use of what is
currently out there.

Call me a dreamer and vaporware hacker if you want, but I'd rather be
that than a nay-sayer who sits around and does nothing while the sites
we get our ed2k links from disappear one by one.

If you don't like my idea, move on and go read Slashdot or something.
If you have something useful to add to the discussion though, by all
means reply.
