I'm surprised there isn't any "About Us" on their website...

I believe tells it all. No?
No, it tells that they have a very sensible and liberal attitude. But
not "what's in it for them"; not that I don't believe there aren't still
some altruistic people around, but something the size of e-s must
require significant amounts of money to keep it going, so I do wonder.
(Though not too loudly as I'm very glad they're there!)
