No, we just transferred all the politics over to Mikes FB page... ;-)

This list is a useful tool, and I definitely appreciate the time and expense
that everyone has put forward to keep it going. That being said, I don't think
it is worth that amount at all whatsoever. That just seems like a crazy amount
of money for what basically amounts to a redundant list. Now that the
republicans on the list are requesting it as a 'safe space' free from politics,
it is hard to see where there is still a need that justifies that expense.

3 years ago, when my (still current but estranged) business partners gave me
30 days to vacate the server farm, Paul really saved the day. I think he was
perfecting his application of ASW for other things at the time so it was
perhaps a bit experimental at the time. I have always really appreciated what
he did for us.
I don’t think it would hurt his feelings if someone else wanted to host it.
There is the list serv and a web site (that has not really been kept up to
date). I have offered to cover the cost of the AWS.
A am OK with anything.

$250/mo to host a single mailing list is well.. insane. I certainly
appreciate Paul hosting the site (and paying these crazy monthly charges), but
I can't help it to question if AWS makes sense for this specific application.

Guys,
$ 970 in contributions have come in so far on supporting AFMUG and are
much appreciated.
I checked with Amazon on the support consideration (currently paying $
100 for that). Unfortunately, to have support available on the API (which is
needed on the mailing part) , we have to keep the $ 100 monthly support plan.
There is no pay per incident for the API level plan, and if you are haven't
paid for the plan previously when there is an incident, you can't buy it and
then cancel it etc..
The monthly recurring AWS costs since October 2014, has averaged $
249.34. So, figure an annual cost of $ 2992 in AWS fees. Probably, a little
expensive but I am glad to continue it.
Paul

I don't know, Friday Funnies would be missed. Then there are important
news things that covers dangers we should all be aware of like the Japanese guy
who died when 6 tons of his umm, private magazine collection fell on him.
These are dangers we should all be aware of when entering houses for
installations.

Or if one feels so compelled to post something politically charged, it
must be allegorical and use nomenclature relevant to our industry.
Ex: If Mimosa truly wanted to convince Ubiquiti supporters that they're
being heard, they should prioritize TCP ACK.
