In fact I am totally in agreement with what Paul said. Doug is doing a wonderful job, the provider seems to have good uptime and reliability and the list does what it is supposed to do. That is what matters. If the provider is charging more than others would probably do my only concern lies with the fact that Doug is chipping in out of his own pocket even while between hopefully gainful employments. Plus he sits down every night to write the digest =) My idea would be in this case - because this has happened to me numerous times and is common practice - to check if the provider has lowered prices lately; mine does so every couple of months to about once a year and they don't notify you or invoice less, instead they just let /you/ overpay until /you/ notice their scam. And on their hotline they tell you outright that they have to make a profit somehow... What I am saying is that I find the price rather too high and saying so out of concern for Doug, no more no less. The only plan to save money would be to move the same setup to a cheaper provider, really. Everything else would either take things away from Doug or reduce reliability or increase his or someone's workload, responsibility, electricity bill etc... I run a mail server here and I could probably operate or archive the list or provide Doug with some ressources but I too want him to remain relevant!!!
