[PLUG] Re: [PLUG-WEB] Don't everybody help me at once now...

[Matt King]

If the list is interested in moving the plug website to a server without
so much political games and irritating policies, I would be willing to
host it on my server.  It's on a nice DS3 connection in a co-location
facility.  I run Slackware Linux 8.0 (not that it matters, I'm not going
to shove Slack in your face every chance I get).  What matters is that it
works and is fast and stable.  That's all that should matter in a server
right?
