so ends the bearshare chapter of gnutella. what a long and boring soap opera. is it finally over? really? thanks!
if that's what he's doing, i have no problem with vinnie spinning off his network. i wish he'd done it sooner. he's been a pain in the ass for gnutella for so long maybe it's better if he simply leaves and takes his toy with him while we see which strategy works best. i'm happier with true, open gnutella applications working together and getting stronger. if bearshare risks becoming another orphaned app, playing with itself by itself it has the option. i know gnutella will put this episode behind it quickly. still, i wish vinnie luck, and i wish the gnutella network the continued success it deserves.
