Actually, I am a perl hacker ;) [my main project is
disobey.com/amphetadesk/] ... I just have a hard-on for global accessibility
and user friendliness. I run the servers that my sites are hosted on, I have
no problem installing Slashcode on there.

For *me*, Slashcode is fine, perfect, and easily do-able. I have no
convictions when I think about a Narcissistic reality. I, however, know a
bunch of people who would love to use Slashcode as a solution to their
needs. They, on the other hand, are not geeks. And their hosting providers
are not friendly (rather generic, as it were). Slashcode would never work
for them.

And changing a hosting provider, while generic and without a face, may be
the "proper" solution to getting Slashcode up and running for these people,
it's not a viable one. Have you ever changed houses because you're sick and
tired of taking the subway every morning? Even if your house is perfect and
without complaint?
