Why not post them anyway?  Maybe I could convince them what a great
idea it would be offer a Lisp based web server - or at least to let me
install the components for one.  I'm not sure whether there's an
Apache->Lisp interface yet that would give you as much control as just
doing everything in Lisp...

At the Tech Co-op (http://tech.coop) we offer Lisp (sbcl) based virtual 
hosting for as little as $10 CAD a month. You would be free to use 
aserve, cl-http or aranieda or apache/mod_lisp. If you wanted to use a 
different CL, we are willing to work something out based on memory useage.

We are a non-profit, and run all our hosting services on that basis, so 
you only pay for what you use.

(the web page is out of date, but check back on monday when i should 
have the new site up).
