6. I hope the hamsters running their servers don't explode

Feels like they're getting hammered. Could the documents be organized in a fashion which made it any more cumbersome? :)

On edit: off to the greatest with you. Let's get some more eyeballs on it. :evilgrin:

7. $75,000 salary for running that little town?

I guess they pay higher in Alaska but that sounds like a lot to me.
