So, I invited Aberbotimue and PurelySkinDeep and Gonmatron and Protempore to join me in our filesharing excercise.
Then AlienSpaceBat said Hi and we exchanged keys. Great, I thought, a 6th member.
He had 5 people in his bit of the network, and guess what, we're now a 10-person network!
I had just been thinking "Hmm, is it reasonable to expand this without asking other people?" I guess it's a tad late for that now...
Amusingly, one of them sent messages to all of us, saying that we were welcome to join their network and could we introduce ourselves :->
On the other hand, one of the new people has told me that there's a search facility, which I've just used to find lots of cool stuff spread across the network.
Which is about 150Gigabytes of 'stuff'

I guess you could be on multiple networks at the same time if you ran two instances of the software (do-able through the profile manager) . . . but I'm not sure what kind of conflicts you'd run into with saving settings and such. I suppose if you have two separate aliases . . .
In the mean time, keep the anti-virus software up to date and don't allow anyone to send you a file without permission. :-)
