Vented enough? Cool. First of all, I tried knots. It's running on one of my nodes, and I mined with OCEAN for as long as my miner worked. I am also sympathetic to Luke and to his views. And I am also peeved about the GitHub comment closing/re-opening for ACK etc.

However, that changes nothing about the fact that filters are - very unfortunately - ineffective in trying to reach an optimal behavior of the overall network. And crying about it doesn't help either.
