Well, I want to start a larger conversation on the Hotline's
usefulness.  As some of you know I am paying US$25 per month to
maintain it, and I don't really think that it's shown $25/month worth
of usefulness to us.  While there is certainly a great potential for
such a hotline, I don't know if it makes sense for us to continue
investing our time (and attention) into something that's not really
shown itself to be a success.

My proposal would be to completely disable the hotline, due to low
use, unless someone can come up with a workable plan for encouraging
it's use.
