I've checked my own payment record; supposing that there were no
mistakes in the formula that calculates my monthly share, everything
is correct.

I would be able to cover $100 as well if needed.

Definitely. Nathan, can you continue doing this on a regular basis?

There's one thing that came to my mind as I was reading recent mwolson's
post. I mean the one from a few days ago, where he reported he relocated
hcoop's volume on the filesystem.

He mentioned that he 'mounted a long-forgotten' 'hcoop' AFS volume, or
something like that. AFAICT, we were using the correct volume since I
found it (and recovered our financial database).

Mike, did I misunderstand your post, or you really mounted some volume
that was not mounted before (and with it, a different hcoop database)?
Maybe this is the cause of the discrepancy?

Thanks,
