Wait there! Ho now! Can we not all get along? Would just the bestest thing be
to use USENET as an optional parallel distribution system for Freenet nodes?

If there's some material that you want to get widely distributed to nodes that
are big and friendly enough to take lots of content, instead of gently
percolating through the network like some limp-wristed whispered "ooh don't
mind me, i'm just a leetle bit of dangerous free speech. cache me if you can!
", why not post it to alt.freenet.evil.crypto.communists, where the bigger
nodes scan that group, and insert it into their local cache, and ensure a much
more resilient distribution.

Heck, even with just one node listening, this would be useful, because the
scanning code could simultaneously insert it in a.f.e.c.c into mojo, and
publius too. Usenet as super-glooo!

Of course, tragedy of the commons, lack of true anonymity, whine, whine,
bitch, but USENET's had that in moon-sized spades for years, and it hasn't
stopped me from posting pornographic DivXs of scientologists reading their
copyright material through patented government UFO technology microphones.

oh shut up and write it, me
