My understanding is that the PayPal account is for Dmitry expenses
directly, and that ultimately, he makes the decision who his legal
counsel is. I imagine that money generically donated to the EFF goes
into some kind of general fund. I'm sure the board of directors knows
what that is. But if I'm a non-profit org and I ask you to donate money
to me becuase I'm working on a cause X, and you can either donate to me,
or to a special account for cause X, it seems like they've done all they
can do.

I'm not saying this becuase I think that the EFF is some kind of all
powerful entity -- but they are certainly capable of connections and
actions that I, and/or the 50 of us on the list, are not.
