This is just the first salvo in the war against all P2P traffic. The internet is being converted into one never-ending Geico commercial. I guarantee ISPs will be blocking all P2P traffic within a year or two.

So Comcast is only dropping text groups and we'll still be able to download files on binary groups? -- »Celestia-this is a REALLY COOL program!!!
