Lpc2000

Thanks for the offer, but yes, the monthly bandwidth is larger than 
100 GB.  I thought we were still under that, but I checked and we 
left 100 GB behind some months ago.  

Originally Pablo worked out hosting with several vendors so there 
would be a main site with mirrors.  But the mirrors have not been 
updated in a long time and the bandwidth on the main site is growing 
all the time.  

The posts I have been making asking for advice seem to have 
generated enough extra clicks that the finances are fine for a 
while.  It was not my intent to get people to just start clicking on 
the ads randomly since people are paying for those clicks and want 
value for their money.  I was trying to find a way to optimize the 
ads for reader interest.  

I'll see how the next month goes and see if further action is 
needed.
