Oh Boy, that sure doesn't seem fair. As one who used the HTML a lot and can't remember ever using the .PDFs, I don't think I contributed to the problem, but I feel for you nonetheless. You sure have my gratitude for providing an unmatched service. I've thanked Hans with verbal praise and $23 for the CD, which is somewhere on it's way around the world.

Well, there appear to be other than technical problems in bringing the eSIF 
back.

Our downstream ISP is now limiting the outbound traffic of our server farm to 
approx. 10 KBytes/sec.  Seems like we weren't the *only* ones to notice the 
several-orders-of-magnitude increase in traffic that was choking off our pipe.  
This is not good, and I don't mean from the point of view of the eSIF or those 
of you who want it back in all its glory for free -- my (not to mention my 
partners') act of generosity in hosting the eSIF will now probably cost us more 
$$$ if we want a reasonable upload capacity back for the entire server farm 
(and we *do* want that capacity back, for other reasons altogether).  Needless 
to say, my partners are less than totally happy with me, and there's going to 
be some financial ramifications.

No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose.
