[p2p-research] Category:Policy - P2P Foundation

[Alex Rollin]

This is tautological.

Nothing has structurally changed.  You are overreacting.

You can learn how to do this anytime you like.

You can also go on with your old tricks as usual.

Others around you may not conform to your convention.  Life goes on.

If you run into a template it might be better to know what it is.
