    I don't care WTF you think about content mirroring or WTF you think about waiting for stories or indeed anything else. I am extremely sick of not being able to read the original story you post at night when I get up in the morning.

    On top of all this you KEEP DOWNING SERVERS which will eventually get you legal action. Seeing as I like /. and want it to continue, I'm posting this rant in hopes of getting you to change your mind on mirroring sites.

    You may not like it, hell it's probably going to cost you money, but it's the best for all concerned.

    Sooner or later you're going to hit that one site that has an expensive lawyer on retainer and then you'll pay through the nose.

      I'm guessing most intelligent sysadmins would rather spend their money to buy a better connection than a lawyer. Just a hunch.
