he and starkmedia... as well as everyone else who's donated time
and effort... hey, if i can write off my thousands of hours for the
browser archive, i could avoid paying taxes this year...

the question is, is that out-of-pocket or not... if it's not, then $1,000
won't fly on an inventory when it comes to tax breaks for an NFP...
is that would it *would* cost?  what are the *real* costs?  that's
where you need to actually audit that number differently...

our plug is being pulled?

since when?

if you're talking about losing hosting, i've heard no such thing until
your statement above...  which means:

a) you've got the wrong idea of what the inventory was for...

b) i'm completely in the dark for some reason...

can we decide which it is before we freak out?
