We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I remember reading a (supposedly Japanese) saying, in the form of a riddle:

Question - Who should do a difficult task ?

Answer - The one who can.

Buffy believes that the Hellmouth MUST be guarded, for the safety of the world. She also believes that she is the best-qualified person for the job, possibly even the only qualified person. Although both of these beliefs may be wrong, she can't afford to assume that - because if they're correct, the consequences of inaction would be disastrous. Morally, she really doesn't have much choice.
