I believe you were responding to me, but it was really hard to tell. If so, here's the conversation...
Also, please don't just look at continental countries when researching. Look at the small PICs (Pacific Island Countries). For example, search the posts from Christian on Kiribati on the PICISOC list. The cost is extraordinary and all the ego-flattering bloat rsk speaks (relevant part of the post id below) of in very expensive to download and is nearly impossible to stop.

And more particularly places like Kiribati, Cook Islands, Marquesas and other far flung Pacific Island Countries. My apologies for the confusion. Hati and other countries close to a rich mainland country do not suffer the same issues due to geography. scott ps. lately the SW Pacific countries (Vanuatu, Solomons, etc) are getting it together on circuits to main islands in the group from help by NZ, AUS and the Asian Development Bank.
