This is a geekly-interest story that draws attention to what we do
behind the scenes, not just having a nice popular website but how we
get there. And, of course, how to do a top 10 website on approximately
NO MONEY (give or take a few million, but you'll be going *way* down
the Alexa ranks to find a site that does as much as we do with so
little).

Eh, no. You might go way down the list to find a site that *operates*
on so little money, but it wouldn't be one that accomplishes anything
remotely comparable.

Well that's nice to hear? How's the new operating system? What did you use
before that?
