fsf
Confirmed: the FSF's sole purpose is to serve as RMS's amplifier.

Taken as is, this is a complete slap to anyone who directed the FSF in RMS's absence. If the organization is so rudderless as to be cast adrift without one man then the bus-factor of that organization is too great for long-term survival.
The FSF needs to consider what their mission is, because right now their mission is in jeopardy and the folks willing to carry water for the FSF are vanishing.

@brion reminds me of the time I got into the comic con ticket system solely because I copied and pasted the URL instead of clicking on the actual link in the email that went through a redirector that couldn't handle the load
