<BR><BR><rant><BR>I agree, but having formally been the systems
administrator that basically built and ran the linux environment for
AmericanGreetings.com a number of years ago, and doing all that it took back
then to survive the STORM on a day like Valentine's Day at a greeting card
company, i have an especially keen sight on what it takes to run services like
this. And if you really want to talk about the /. affect i can definitely
describe that in pretty good detail, LOL. And honestly i dont get it...rather
than paying for and improving infrastructure for stability and good load
balancing they focus on things that dont necessarily improve their
environment, but rather increase the bottom line. Now, not that that is a bad
model for a business, but when folks are paying for 'services' and you cant
provide them with a lot of reliability, you will begin to loose your paying
userbase and HURT your bottom line in the
long-term.<BR></rant><BR><BR>Michael (of
