Actually, there is a reason, where Freenet is involved.
The point is to prime the Freenet cache. Get pages into the gateway and keep them there, *before* someone wants to look at them, thus saving time.
But if it's going to cause this kind of trouble, it's not worth it. So I'm rethinking. I'm already moving some of that stuff onto the Web. For the rest, probably give up the banners. They were mainly there to prime the cache anyway, and that's looking like a foregone conclusion at this point.
I thought it was worth a try, but it didn't work as I had hoped. So now I gotta do some script fiddling, and they'll be gone.
If anyone wants to follow a Freenet link to a page other than mine, he'll get the untrusted certificate. I don't know any way around that, short of mirroring the entire Freenet on the Web, and that's hardly practical.
Later, I think I'll try to set up two versions, one that primes Freenet, and one that doesn't. Still further into the future: set up my own gateway, using http. Seems like a copout, though. And I don't want to be beholden to VeriSign. Would anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchange be worthwhile?

DEAL WITH IT.
Never mind all the mass graves. Where's the nerve gas?
I helped depose Saddam. Did you?
When the facts speak for themselves, only a fool insists on having a debate.
The future is leaving the station, the US is at the throttle, and the Left isn't on board.
