This simply means that you must be responsible for picking a responsible host. I think the choice is important enough that its very worth it. If you have a centralized solution, and for some reason (finiacial, a fire, an earthquake, war) they collapse, then everyone goes down with them. I think that its proven that lots of smaller organizations provide for stability better than one big group who becomes too powerful. Seek3r
