He is younger than me, and has been a very generous and capable host to the LUG Gallery on his own server. I have doubts about the long-term stability of servers supplied by for-profit companies which are subject to takeovers and buyouts, as well as changes in direction. I keep a representative sample of my images on the LUG Gallery, and expect them to outlive me.
