It will give you an account on a server. You could also ask ibiblio and you will get an account on a better server. Or you could rent your own server for $5 a month.
And we will still be glad to give your efforts publicity, volunteer requests, programs, listservers and support, fileservers and support, etc. I'm sure Marcello can tell you a hundred places you can get it better/cheaper. Right Marcello? [Then why do you say such things?]
The board will give you no money because it doesn't have any. It doesn't want any because having any would probably draw some question re. the legitimation of `the board´, like, who are those guys? when did we elect them?
As has been proven before, our volunteers can create their own boards, raise money, and all that, just as Distributed Proofreaders did. We would be more than happy to help with that, as well. I'm sure Marcello would be happy to help you just as much.
We're all kings here, it's a round table, time to get used to it.
Ah, that explains the frequency of elections.
You're all elected!!! Congratulations!!! Now get out there and DO IT!!! GO! GO!! GO!!!
