So far as I know, we don't have one.  Could people please not claim to speak
for EFF-Austin without asking the board of directors first?  Even if you
might think such a claim is merely an ironic signature line, others are
very likely not to get your irony.

And some of the libertarians among us think we'll suffer if we get
labelled as a civil liberties group.  It's interesting how many diverse
constituencies are talking to each other in EFF-Austin.  Just think,
if we can get labeled as a hacker group, maybe we can be on the front
page of the local newspaper....
