Thirded, but I think it is quite obvious from my responses to Anthony that I think he is a troll.
This is nothing personal against you but can we stop this right now? If anyone else wants to talk to Anthony about whether he is a "troll" or not, do it in private and *off-list*. I have already said this in a post to the list once (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2007-May/030030.html) and I repeat my statement: Accusing each other of trolling in public only stimulates flame wars and is not in any other way helpful to this list. The next unlucky person who decides to entertain the list with ad personam comments about other subscribers risks being moderated.
Thank you Michael

Please Anthony, stop being a troll. You are being completely ignorant and rude.
Seconded.

Leasing servers instead of purchasing them is one factor which should help a great deal.
Leasing equipment is what you do when you need the option to be able to cancel it should trading conditions turn against you and you no longer need the equipment (which is not the case with WMF - we *know* that our usage will continue to increase not decrease) -or- you want to be able to mark down the lease / interest payments against your tax liability, again which does not apply to WMF.
As Robert got to saying first, please be constructive and don't troll.
