Good point, Russ. But I feel that we should be enabling people to
communicate, not putting limitations in their ways. If there were only
mirrors and no direct online publishers, we would have vastly different
Internet today. Mirrors require funding. And although so does direct
connect, it is easier to provide ancillary value from a pipe you own and
control than if you had to directly pay for each byte you wished to share.
