Actually, Asa, it was I who wrote that, not Aaron. I didn't intend it as a
flame in any way, just a comment to show that the little guys aren't
treated the same as the big guys. Sure, ASG does a lot of useful stuff
with their space; that's not in debate. But I bet ASG has a much larger
space allocation than 3,000 blocks, which is the most the majority of
organizations can hope for. Just how much do you have? Oh, and I didn't
say you didn't have to request it, just that it's been granted to you. I
can request more space for my orgs 'til I turn blue, and I won't get it
(more likely to have the current 3,000 yanked for being an annoyance).
 
BTW, please don't tell me that what ASG does with its space is any better
than what another org would do. What others do is just as important, if
not more so, than what ASG does, especially to the org's members.
