You know full well that I have always argued for a paid professional 
webmaster.
You may find (a still unpaid) $50 an hour "ludicrous".    Your privilege.
Yet, you also know that I do NOT want this job and that I am asking to be 
relieved from it.
But I will not walk away until I can hand it over in an orderly fashion.

I find personal attacks on the webmaster and interference with the funding 
not exactly an encouragement for another qualified volunteer  to step up to 
the plate.

I have not seen any samples of hermesnetwork's design work and  if cheap is 
going to be the foremost consideration to get icannatlarge off the ground , 
I am looking forward to a cheap professional from India or  elsewhere on 
the globe.
For me, the foremost considerations are professionalism, knowledgeability 
about the issues and trust.
The site is largely  back-end coding and text. The graphic design is secondary.

Actually the company got that name because it was originally focused on 
China and an innovative method of teaching  chinese characters to people 
wanting to learn chinese.
But thanks for the slur, anyway.
