# Well when 70,000 people get a newsletter
they generally have a look at the links. Thing is they all get it at the same time, so either: a) they server takes a dive because it can't handle the traffic or b) there bandwidth limit is exceeded in about 5 minutes. This time it was the latter.

well, it is to me anyway.

# is there a policy
on asking people if they mind their site going in the newsletter?
or at least warning them in case they have dodgy hosts who'll burn their credit cards?

some bent machines and some unbent ones, I Initially thought that this was the primary purpose of the site-But it's obviously more of a hobby site.
