[volunteergrid2-l] testing new mailing list and Hello.

[Jody Harris]

I like those proposed policies.

1: My two nodes are both 500 GB nodes.

2: Do you have ideas on monitoring node availability. Obviously, the ISPs
the nodes are attacked to fall down from time, but I hope not more than
8hrs/week.

3: Excellent idea.

- Think carefully.
