Never. Never! Upon detection of a zero-files fuckwit, on WinMX or
SoulSeek, the strategy should *always* be :
(1) Message them with something gloriously rude (yet completely
justified, ethically), like "Hey! Leeching fuckwit! Yes .... you! Where
are your files, you idiot? Do you think I've nothing better to do than
let some non-sharing nutjob grab my shit? Well, I bloody well have!
Explain yourself, you wank, or I'm going to cancel your arse and smile
while I'm doing it. And be quick about it, you spunkbag!".
(2) Hope that he/she/it takes offence, and messages back.
(3) Cancel the transfer.
(4) If they bite, sit back and enjoy the ride. Finally, when you get
bored/run out of swearwords/get another leech in, finish with a final
(and highly satisfying/sophisticated) "Yeah?! Well, fuck YOU too,
dipshit!" and ignore.

Not only does this sort of thing keep me out of mischief, but it makes
me feel like I've helped spread some joy and happiness to the world. I
suppose I'm just a nice guy.

My sentiments exactly, especially the last part. I hope old Snortin' is
reading this. Meh!
