Thanks Douglas, very helpful.  The approx. 92 MB storage isn't much 
problem.  Yes, 2 MB is tiny.  I suppose IF they really don't log IPs or 
data, that's what you're paying for (if that's important), rather than 
free providers that gather data & sell it.  I just have a health 
suspicion of a TINY % of companies in *any* industry that say, "/we're 
different than all the rest/."  Riseup may be, but usually in sum total, 
most companies in an industry are similar. One will cut a little here, 
but add it back somewhere else.

If the U.S. gov't allowed them not to keep ANY records, _every 
terrorist_ in this country & many others would be flocking to Riseup.  
Or maybe that's the plan.  Since it's unlikely they'll allow that... 
anymore than they'd allow 1 or 2 phone Co's. NOT to keep records or 
build phone systems that couldn't be wire tapped.

BTW, did send Riseup support a question about their limits.
