I laugh at the costs that some of the gov websites come up with for their
running budgets. I've seen some gov sites that cost over a million dollars
a year to keep going. I host thousands of sites at Netlink, and all those
put together don't cost what one gov funded site costs.

Of course if the gov offered me a mil a year to host and maintain a site, I
could do that..
