yah yah don't rub it in. I noticed that immediately after posting it and don't know how to edit it (tell me if there's a way). It happened because while I was writing it it said "I would be more than happy to blah blah blah" and then I edited that part of it to make it less personal sounding and forgot about the rest of that sentence. But you get my point.
A lot of people don't want to donate but many would be more than happy to donate a few gigs of my hard drive and some small part of my bandwidth to wikipedia on occasion.
I cite F@H (Folding at Home) for all those who know of it (thanks to all who do it) which I am already doing. If that concept could be applied to hosting Wikimedia then their hosting fees could drop dramatically. (possibly to zero). All those people who already use wikipedia could pay back some of the debt they owe to it by helping host it.
