For someone who claims he knows "****-all" about this stuff, you've hit upon a 
possible solution that comes up time and again -- in essence, a distributed 
system.  It's one of the ideas we're kicking about, but it requires *much* more 
admin work (someone has to coordinate, watch for dead links, servers 
disappearing spontaneously, that sort of thing).  Less work is better, 
especially since this is a volunteer effort.  We all have lives outside of 
cyberspace, after all.

Well, okay, maybe not *all* of us, but you get my drift.  ;-)
