What, you mean, like the sacrifices you make in not taking a salary to run a non-profit? Seriously, people like you get paid a lot of money to do what you do for us for free. And furthermore, you built it from scratch up, you're not just maintaining it. Core code, people!
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just have forever wanted to live on one of those and have a giant satellite dish and NOT DEAL WITH ANYONE!
Except all the tourists, and the local planning commission, and maintain the boat, and keep the generator running, and remember to have your clothes on when the local CG team comes to make sure the light is still working properly...

(Everyone knows I'm just kidding, and all of your donations go straight to the hosting fees, right? Phew.)

I admit the lighthouses are prettier, but they're a MAJOR PAIN to maintain, since even if you get them for, say, $10K, you still have to bring them up to code, and the standards are pretty strict. A number of people have won those auctions and then backed out when they realized how much they would have to spend on them. And it's not as though they're easy to get to--the ones being auctioned off are usually out in the water, so you need a boat to get access.

inaccessible works nicely with my hermit plan with GIANT SATELLITE DISH. but no tourists and no responsibilities. just drilling platform, boat, lots of topsoit to make container gardens and a PO box at the nearest mainland town. HEAVEN!!!
