The people who run our mirror sites give up 500 MB of disk storage, lots of CPU cycles, a not-insignificant portion of their network bandwidth, and ongoing hours of their free time to support us. In return they get nothing. Repeat: nothing. They don't even get the name recognition of a typical committer. There is only one thing that is appropriate to say to these people: "Thank you." Try it some time. And in the future when you have a point to make, please don't make it at the expense of our volunteers. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
