+<p>
+Great. If you want to run several relays to donate more to the network,
+we're happy with that. But please don't run more than a few dozen on
+the same network, since part of the goal of the Tor network is dispersal
+and diversity.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you do decide to run more than one relay, please set the "MyFamily"
+config option in the torrc of each relay, listing all the relays
+(comma-separated) that are under your control:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+    MyFamily $fingerprint1,$fingerprint2,$fingerprint3
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+where each fingerprint is the 40 character identity fingerprint (without
+spaces). You can also list them by nickname, but fingerprint is safer. Be
+sure to prefix the digest strings with a dollar sign ('$') so that the
+digest is not confused with a nickname in the config file.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+That way clients will know to avoid using more than one of your relays
+in a single circuit. You should set MyFamily if you have administrative
+control of the computers or of their network, even if they're not all in
+the same geographic location.
