Hi, folks. I'm a little bit pressed for time just now (personal
business), and can comment more later, but I'll offer these little facts
as puny evidence about why you shouldn't have to worry.
* I own and operate "roughdraft.org" -- so there is no danger
that any outside entity is going to come along and pull any
rug out from under our feet. I hate having that happen,
and try to avoid it.
* The monthly cost is negligible -- about $5.
* The labor is minimal; I keep a tight look at things to avoid
things going wrong and that the traffic goes through cleanly.
* As I've said publicly and privately, I don't consider this to
"my" list. I'm just a caretaker, and if I get run over by a
bus, you can always start the list elsewhere. The archives
are public material, so all the old data is out there.
* It's not a lot of work (remember that while I have the heart
of a writer, I also have the wallet of a writer, which is
pretty much empty from publishing payoffs), because I have a
Real Job in the computing biz, so the technical matters are
no big deal and work their way seamlessly into my daily life.
Speaking of "daily life," I have to go deal with it. I'll probably be
slightly out of touch for a day or two due to a family emergency, but
will be checking in irregularly.
