[Bent] MARS finances

[Andrew Douglas]

When the website went onto Warren Beauchamp's server he asked us to  
provide a small amount each year to cover his bandwidth costs. I know  
that happened up until I ceded control of the site. After that Warren  
emailed me about it and I referred him to Steve.

Nothing is free.

That's all I know. If you haven't given him anything and he hasn't  
asked, then I guess there's nothing due.

By the way, if whoever has the current password for the website would  
be so kind, I'd appreciate it if you could remove my email address  
from the various pages on which it appears. I still get queries from  
newcomers, who I refer to the MARS mailing list. It's not really a  
problem and I'm happy to give a prompt and courteous response to  
anyone who emails me, but since I'm not active MARS business really  
shouldn't be directed my way. I asked Joao (who I gave the password  
to) to do this, but he never did.
