   I wasn't comfortable with decentralized encrypted network that used your pc as   
   a hub.  I'd rather run another bbs.  At least I'd have some control/moderation   
   of the content.     
      
   I understand the need for anonymous communication and all, but I think its   
   going to end up being like the press where the reporter/sysadmin would have to   
   be responsible for content.
