Thanks! The blacklist and centralization really turn me off. Plus, I'm no fan of Gavin. Didn't he try to flood the network with small transactions to prove that the 1MB limit is too small and wasn't able to complete it or was that someone else? I heard they were padding it to make it seem like it was getting close to 1MB when it really wasn't.

There has been a stress-test and spam attack, but there's nothing that points towards Gavin Andresen. I doubt it's him, but who knows. Fact is though, this attack was done for like $5000, which is a problem.
