- I'm responding for Rita, who has decided to leave Usenet for the time
- being. (She continues to work for EFF, of course.)
-
- I'm unclear on what you mean by "`subliminal' environmental" above.
- If your question is whether Cliff Figallo's assuming the directorship of
- the EFF Cambridge office means that EFF has added environmentalism
- to its agenda, the answer is no. We do recycle cans and bottles here,
- though. Also, our online newsletter uses 100-percent recycled electrons.
-
- You seem to be assuming that references to the use of this medium by
- environmentalist groups implies an endorsement of a particular point of
- view. That is a mistake.

-
- We may refer in the future to the use of this medium by environmentalists
- and other groups with whom you disagree. You should understand that our
- point in doing so is simply to stress how the medium is being used--we do
- not automatically adopt the point of view of those to whom we refer.
