Oh Boy, that sure doesn't seem fair. As one who used the HTML a lot and
can't remember ever using the .PDFs, I don't think I contributed to the
problem, but I feel for you nonetheless. You sure have my gratitude for
providing an unmatched service. I've thanked Hans with verbal praise and
$23 for the CD, which is somewhere on it's way around the world.

Well, there appear to be other than technical problems in bringing the eSIF
back.
Our downstream ISP is now limiting the outbound traffic of our server farm to
approx. 10 KBytes/sec. Seems like we weren't the *only* ones to notice the
several-orders-of-magnitude increase in traffic that was choking off our pipe.
This is not good, and I don't mean from the point of view of the eSIF or those
of you who want it back in all its glory for free -- my (not to mention my
partners') act of generosity in hosting the eSIF will now probably cost us more
$$$ if we want a reasonable upload capacity back for the entire server farm
(and we *do* want that capacity back, for other reasons altogether). Needless
to say, my partners are less than totally happy with me, and there's going to
be some financial ramifications.
No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose.
