here's my reply, as things are left atm.
   i'm thinking some of blockchain collaboration to reduce paranoia.
   previously, the thread seemed broken into factions, where a pair of
   people were arguing ferventlty and illogically to remove quark from the
   tree. they have reasonable points but don't back them up with logic,
   rather mismatching the logic.
   with this further disconnection one starts imagining the list breaking
   into fake lists where participants are surrounded by fake peers who
   treat them crummily.
   that's what blockchains and a handful of other p2p techs are designed
   to avoid

     I appreciate that you volunteer to do that for Quark. Can't be too
     bad,
     it's a small investment of money and time, after all.

   Sorry, have I offended you? What is it you read me as saying?
   Does this seem lengthy or expensive to you?
