Support Page
All:
I deliberately took the support page offline this morning.
I do not know who controls the Paypal account. This is an issue, because without knowing who controls that account, there is no assurance that donations made to that account will go towards the website.
If you have made a donation to the website, using PayPal, since January 2010, would you please send me an email stating the date and amount that you contributed.

Preliminary Poll Results
On 2 December 2010 I put up a poll:
The specific question is: "Should e-Sword-users.org list every e-Sword resource that appears to be distributed in violation of copyright?"
When I looked at the poll results on the fourth, two thirds of the votes were for "no", or "only when when uploaded to e-Sword-users". I did not write down the specific results then.
Looking at the results today, we have:
Yes: 35% (9 votes)
No: 35% (9 votes)
Only when uploaded to e-Sword-users.org: 27% (7 votes)
Other: 4% (1 vote) read more...

Stress Test: Ruth 4:1
In trying to track down why the REB and NET Bibles did not display correctly on my system, I decided to do a little more stress testing of e-Sword.
