Have to agree with Peter on this one ... not necessarily with as much sarcasm, 
of course ... that one is a weak argument ...

Have to agree here as well ... sounds like you are looking for utopia where we 
generally live in a world of limbo ...

And on this one, I definitely agree, but for different reasons ... there is 
nobody on this list that a) can provide hosting for this or b) you would host 
with ... and those that will/would do the performance testing don't care in the

discussion on this, why bother posting it here ... ?
