Are you saying  there are no OSS folks who have lost their houses,
their cars and their Internet connections and therefore have
difficulty continuing contributing to OSS projects?

I hope that is the truth, but I sincerely doubt that it is.

Not substantially different in spirit than OSS is our Community
Networking Grant program which supports ~ 300 not-for-profits.

When we began in 1995, we offered free Internet connections to each
school, library and hospital in our service area of 43 counties in
north Texas.

The recent downslide in the economy has made that immeasurably more
difficult to continue, but we are continuing with it for another year.

This whole discussion is off-topic and getting to be really annoying.

Can you please stop this? You are creating new thread after new thread 
from old threads I wasn't interested in and set to ignore. Now you create 
them as new threads, so I have to ignore these as well. This grows 
annoying. Put together with your habit of off-topic posting YOU get 
annoying. Thanks.

Larry, enough is enough. Please stop your behavior. This list is not for 
your personal amusement. If you cannot behave like any other person on the 
list, please go elsewhere.
