It would be a mistake, although not Pat's worst, to equate EFF's
and CPSR's agendas. While there is overlap in the two organizations'
interests, particularly in the civil liberties arena, their interests
are not identical.

We work together on the interests we share. Unlike Pat, who is
probably a bit hazy on what the two organizations stand for, I
have no trouble thinking of people who might favor one organization
but not the other.
