Hi again!

Today I turned of most udp2log webrequest filters.  For now, I have left
the Fundraising filters, as well as the 5xx and sampled-1000 filters
running.  All of these filters are now running on erbium.  oxygen's udp2log
instance has been shut off.

Instead of constantly updating this thread, I will track this here:

Thanks!
