... code to make it possible for freestuff contributers to store files on "free sites" ... - What's the matter with that? It's just one of the facts of life, people evading attempts by firms to make them waste their time reading advertisements. I read the HTML text of one advertising banner, and it contained some Java including a comment "set date to defeat cacheing". We don't need THAT sort of thing, wasting internet relayers' time and adding to dialup line phone bills by sabotaging the very useful caching mechanism merely to make people see an advert.
