   The FSF is a non-profit tax-exempt organization that depends on financial

You are only partially correct.  The public is entitled to know how
those contributions are spent, but that only extends to the official
forms that we file with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and perhaps
the IRS.  You may write them at your leisure.  The FSF goes beyond
this, because it is interested in good will, but is not legally
obliged to.

As for the second clause, there is no obligation at all on most
non-profit organizations (include the FSF) to give any attention to
public questions about allocation decisions.  Again, because the FSF
is interested in good will, we do take the time to address such
things, in general.  

But your repeated, somewhat obnoxious, and generally clueless comments
are quite tiresome.  If you have something new to say, say it,
otherwise please just shut up.
