In particular if people care about their software and cross-link, you can enter any web anywhere you like and you will find what you have been looking for, once you have a starting point (like the ones provided by Google, sourceforge, or the Ada wide search engine, or ...). This is a property of networks! : Epeacialy now that spammers with there link-farms have startet to break : google? To me that is a political problem of stunning unawareness rather than a technical one. Consider risk: what if the net parasites start cracking sourceforge? Georg
