Well said, Jeri.

Max, a point of clarification. You said earlier, "I want all contributions stopped". Many of us see Mudcat as providing many things in addition to the social networking facility that many people use it for. As such, we feel that this service should be paid for - at least on a voluntary basis. Many of us contributed to the last hardware buy (the terabit drive). Personally, it makes me feel good to think that I am helping to make this all happen. This is not charity - it is payment for services rendered. May we continue doing so?
