   I think that you covered some decent points about (what I'm going to   
   call) the "producers" / "contributers".  Unfortunately that says little   
   for the "consumers" / "leaches" that don't give any thing in return.   
      
   I know that I put systems up because they provide a resource I want   
   (access to FidoNet / Usenet / SMTP / etc.) and allow others to benefit   
   from what I have in place for my self.  Sure, there are a few things   
   that are of little impact or importance to me, but more importance to   
   others.  (I.e. I had no use for UUCP on my news server, but I installed,   
   configured, and supported it to help a fellow news peer.)
