 I didn't said anything against you!!!!!! I neither know who you
 are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i know you're for sure an error being!!!!!!!!!!
 YEAH!!!!!!!!! and this is very true!!!!!!!!!!!
 enough said!!!, a shared library is surely useful!!! And it's going to
 preserve the backward compatibility with all the existing software!! also
 giving the chance to create new applications with a better integration
 with TOR!!!! Like the ability to start safer hidden services without
 opening local ports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or even creating a Tor-Bundle made of
 the GUI or CLI interface, glibc, libtor, QT and all the others required
 libraries pushed into a single statically linked and very portable
 executable!!!!!!!!! i think it's going to be a very big file!!!!!!!!or it
 could be possible to compress it with UPX!!!!!!
 Well, people unwilling to run different tor instances in applications made
 to run that way!!!!!! will still able to fire up the command line tool
 with the sockets interface!!! and use firefox or apache for server!!!!
 just alike they're doing now!!!!!! The network load thing is a lie!!!!!!
 Just start any downloader tool and you'll load the network even right
 now!!! Having the same application made with a shared library won't change
 anything!!!!!!!!!!! Download a linux dvd iso and you're going to overload
 the network without needing a p2p application neither!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 It's true that different applications will establish autonomous
 connections to the network!!!!!! This improves the stability of every
 single service!! and has the only consequence to gum up the statistics of
 tor usage!!!!!!! which i cannot actually call "a very bad
 thing"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Nobody is ever going to stop you, if you prefer to use "torsocks"!!!!!!
 what you said doesn't prove having a library to be useless or wrong!!!!!!!
 I guess that you don't want to have a shared library!! because you fear to
 have a shared library!!!!!!!! yeah!!! and this is because you don't want
 the others to create software that you (wrongly!!!!!!!) believe could
 compromise the TOR project!!!!! as to have P2P applications exclusively
 based on its network!!!!!!!!! which i'm sure!!!, is something that sooner
 or later will happen in any way!!!!!!!!!!!
