Are you thinking of moving the bugzilla page to the new domain, or just have a
pointer back to rosswalker.co? From the freeparking web site, it looks like
it is just a redirection service -- you don't get storage or ordinary web
services. Is that correct? I'm wondering if we might not be better paying
more money, and getting an ISP that does a little more. That way, we don't
have to be so paraoid about security -- just keep the web site under CVS
control, and hacks only compromise that one area, not servers like rosswalker.
But I don't have a feeling for how often web sites are attacked ...I've run a
couple for several years with no problems.

FWIW, I prefer "ambermd.org" -- hyphens are hard to remember.

...happy new year...dac
