OK...nice of Mark to contribute that, but in my opinion perhaps a more 
positive "story"  - I think it's the phrase "bogged down"  - We are 
soliciting contributions now, so hopefully have more to choose from

Will it then still be clear that the hosting formerly on Ecodissident is 
in Iceland? (And the significance/reason/security implications of this?)

I LIKE that idea (info for activists) ...maybe with a big strapline 
something like "Info service provided by Webarchitects co-operative, 
which offers website hosting and system administration with 
activist-level security"

Hmmm ... I think I didn't like the word "hire" so I tried re-writing and 
came up with this; slimmed-down:

We offer experienced expert Linux systems administration support for

Any better? Or not?

"buy now" links to that first one (Ecohost)?
