While I agree that it is nice to have customer service and support and
all that, isn't it a waste of time to do something that already
exists, and -- with all due respect -- is probably a hell of a lot
better than what you'll be able to put together in reasonable time?

I was sceptical with that server also and thought I'd rather do it
myself with a mystical PERL script and cron, but if you look at the
sever, it is so damn easy to use and powerful nonetheless, that you
should rather -use- and it spend the hours for something different.
