Reply #111: Trust. That's obviously a big issue for Mr. Robinson. [View All]

I also say Mr. Robinson isn't that much of a patriot, with the Japanese NTT providing his internet connection. DU on the other hand use a local specialist company in Wilmington, DE.

The biggest cost that I can see that a site like FR or DU would have would be bandwidth. FR has the upside here in some respects because it isn't a very bandwidth intensive site. $1200/mo IMO could keep FR or DU ticking over on its own server with "enough" bandwidth.

I'd happily have outsiders help me out with anything technical. Sometimes it is time to step aside and let the specialists in. The phrase goes about "a doctor knows how to operate, a good doctor knows when to operate, a great doctor knows when not to operate." You can say a lot of that about a lot of professions. Mr. Robinson obviously is not a good or great website technician, as FR would have evolved along with the rest of the web. It hasn't.
