[Michael Belanger]

Agreed.. But here are the reasons this wont fly...

1.  We are a grant-based project. We just don't have the resources to

2.  Due to the sensitivity of the data being stored on the server,
we just don't feel comfortable having them on a system on which we
cannot guarantee privacy.
