Well, I said that I didn't want to be included in this discussion
because I have too much email to read, but let me respond to something
evan said just so it is clear.

The point of what we are doing is very different from what rabble is
talking about here. He is referencing stray, which is a linefeed
server, which has had a lot of problems in the last week. What we are
talking about is moving the sites hosted on stallman off of Active
onto something else (potentially sf-active, dada, mir), *not* moving
it to another server, definately not moving it to stray. The problems
that rabble is talking about are with the server, not with sf-active. 

There are a number of sf-active knowledgable people who are not
involved with that server at all (occam, pseudopunk, blicero...) and
are available to help. We are looking at putting sf-active on
stallman, and there is another server out there available to put
sf-active on it, that is not stray.
