 It is extra effort to switch to another server.  At present, it is the 
 only alternative, so if people are interested in use of the language, 
 that is their only alternative. 
  
 It also suggests that c# is a proprietary product of Microsoft, which 
 begs the question of why there is a need for a group for discussing 
 standarization independent of Microsoft?
