While we appreciate the interest, right now we are more interested in
finishing the next stage software development project.  Adding more clout
nodes has been put on hold for a while.

As the current clout nodes often move significantly more than that daily,
and as the current software requirements on top of however much space UNIX
takes are on the order of a few megs, that is just not enough space.  As I
am sure you guessed :-)

If anyone knows where we can find more drive space for one of the current
clout nodes, it would be appreciated!  We have been running VERY tight on
space for some months now.  Fortunatly we have been quite lucky and have
not had our spool space get swamped all that often, but even once was too
much, and it has happened more than once.

As I mentioned above, we appreciate your interest, and would welcome your
support; but right now we need software development a lot more than new
nodes.  If you are interested in that aspect of the project feel free to
drop me a note via E-mail!

Hmm?  What does that have to do with the Clout project?  Or were you
starting a different train of thought?  Sorry, I haven't had quite as much
sleep these past few months as I would have liked :-)
