[Foundation-l] Statement to the Associated Press

Mon Mar 10 13:41:34 UTC 2008

Uh, what records are you talking about? All of Jimbo's personal e-mails? Do
you want his bank statements, too? A top 10 website is going to attract a
lot of strange claims, and the Foundation and associated people don't need
to release a barrage of responses and records to each one - or they'd be
doing nothing else. Seriously - every new claim shouldn't be viewed as an
opportunity to paint the organization as neglectful, secretive and
anti-community. If you really want to feel like an insider, maybe that eBay
auction hasn't finished yet.
