Hi,

Can you explain how you a query differs from a 'message' in the system?  Surely
a query is just another packet of data that needs to be communicated to
different node/nodes in the system?  I think that we are probably talking about
the same thing.

For this list I was focusing on the anonymous messaging part of the application.
I'm am a bit confused about what you mean in section 2.2 of the documentation
about handling static data.  How would you propose to give the functionality of
Freenet without using a similar system?

What do you mean by static download (about Freenet)?

thanks,

- Dale
