[Foundation-l] EFF & Bitcoins

[Ting Chen]

This statement is such a lie that I cannot let it stay here unresponded.

You imply the board seat of Matt Halprin. Matt had long left Omidyar, if 
his board seat was bought, we had had to chose someone else from that 
Foundation to replace him. As we had explained before many times, Matt 
is on the board only because his skill and knowledge on board governance.
