Thank God I'm hosting with CFHosting and there giving me almost unlimited
bandwidth. If I had to pay for bandwidth on top of hosting, I'd be totally
dead.
On a slightly different money matter, if someone was paying for advertising
space at the bottom of each post, the vacation loop would make it look like
they've gotten a ton of extra views and I'd have to go back and 'fix' it. On
the other hand, I don't have any list advertisers. :)
