so now you're saying that what i've posted on my meo site goes against its
intended purpose?  i thought one of the purposes of meo was to foster
community.  is that not what i'm doing by posting things there for others to
use?  alas, we're way offtrack now though.  let me just conclude by saying
that there are plenty of people abusing the service and not using it for
what was originally intended.  however, there are some of us who are and
something should be done to make sure our contributions to the community via
our meo space doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

if it's not apparent, i'm fine with making changes to the meo service to cut
costs.  i just want to make sure we do it smartly and only after having all
the facts in front of us.

speaking of facts, can someone with the know how give us an indication of
bandwidth usage broken down by service (weo, teo, beo, meo, leo, deo, etc.)?

thanks,

.jeff
