Thanks all for the kind offers of webspace.

My generous host Mr. Reidsma is right now working on expanding his
generous offer, so I'll stay with him, at least for the time being
(another mid- and yet another longterm solution are in scope/under
construction/discussion, let's hope they do work out eventually...).

Some time next week we'll probably have capacities again to add another
dozen or more titles to the Temporary Ebook Riot. Stay tuned for
upcoming [ANN].

On another note: While everybody and their granny was extremely cool
about extending webhosting offers to me, nobody even attempted to lower
my ignorance factors re GMail (see questions below). So if nobody talks
about it, it either can't be hot at all or must be a secret boys'
treehouse/lodge thing. Yawn. Shoulda known that.
