Thank you for the apology. I appreciate it. It is more than I have come to expect on the internet lol.

understood. so lets work on encrypting all the data and then relay runners have no responsibility. It should have been federated from the beginning. My main issue though is that the rush to centralisation in the name of comfort and convenience is in full swing.

It reminds me of something Khalil Gibran wrote:

"Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master?

Ay, and it becomes a tamer, and with hook and scourge makes puppets of your larger desires.

Though its hands are silken, its heart is of iron.

It lulls you to sleep only to stand by your bed and jeer at the dignity of the flesh.

It makes mock of your sound senses, and lays them in thistledown like fragile vessels.

Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral."

this is not a new set of issues unique to this project.
