It's probably none of my business, and you can tell me that without offending me, but how in the world does this amount of infrastructure get /paid/ for in the first place? All the bandwidth? The hardware? Eberhard's Rolls Royce? :-) I've never had even a glimpse of what the various funding mechanism(s) are. What if we had a "New server gwdg.de for Eberhard" fund-raiser? Tacky? Against the rules? Against the law? Ever tried? I'd really appreciate having this gap in my understanding filled in... - Carl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
