True. As is mine. But mine is a little rinky-dink personal site, that no
one (including me :-) cares about. What percentage of big sites (or busy
sites, or well known sites) run Apache? Amazon, Google, etc. Places that
you wouldn't qualify as "hobbyist" or "light-duty".
(yes, we know Apache is industrial strength. But the more relevant
question is what percentage of industrial strength sites are running
Apache, as opposed to home people like me)
