I factored in stability of storage. Web sites that depends on the energy
input from one single person are vulnerable by definition.

There was an interview with a philosopher of sorts here on Swedish radio
the other day. He was asked about what generic thought he most often had
on mind.

Philosopher...

"I wake up in the morning to start another day of life,
not knowing if I will ever see the evening."

Interviewer...

"But that goes for every one?"

Philosopher...

"Yea, but do they live and act accordingly?"

As a contrast, I just spent a quick minute on Google groups to find an
archived thread from early 1998 where I participated. I'm sure that if I
spend a few minutes more I would find my very first post on Usenet from
late 1995 too.

A matter of taste I'd say.

I know that, and you have my full respect for that effort.

The same "idealism" came out of me for css.nu which over the years I had
it has costed me some $2500,- of already taxed money coming out of my
own pocket. Lucky for me I found some one to take over the site after my
life situation has changed enough to make it difficult to continue.

Let's initiate an experiment in storage reliability...

=====

This is official from me Jan Roland Eriksson.

Tina Holmboe, one original member of the "Web Design Group" at...

http://www.htmlhelp.org

....and the current manager of Greytower Technologies at...

http://www.greytower.co.uk/

....is now the official owner of the domain 'css.nu' and has been given
all rights to handle original material stored within that domain as she
see fit. The domain and its content has been handed over to Tina as a
gift from me and my original css.nu web partner Sue Sims.

=====

Now let's see if any one could fight Tina for her rights to css.nu ten
years from now, regardless if I will see the end of this day or not :)

Compare the possibilities to a situation where I would have created a
standard web page containing the same information.
