Joke, seeing the :D but interesting still.
Trust, IMO is given intuitively rather than gained by control, in this 
case by peer review of Toads code.

To non-expert me it seems that someone smart enough to program software 
for a complex network, surely is able to hide a backdoor effectively. 
Seeing what all functions can be crammed in a very small trojan..
It comes down to: do I dare to do what I want to do with FN?, and that 
is not so much determined by if I trust the person Toad but if I trust 
myself doing that in particular using Freenet, the way I want to.

Me, I thoroughly distrust everything with M$ in its label, because the 
company has so many times deceived its users and played foul towards 
competition.
But that doesn't keep me from using its OS. It just dictates how I use it.

Peculiar concept, trust. One could translate the word with self 
awareness. Do I trust my own judgment and instinct.

The remailing whistle blower above might wonder how he feels about his 
own actions and attitude instead of wavering his finger.
