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. Is there anyone out there familiar with both groups who might want to talk about the differences and similiarities between them, for those of us not familiar with one or the other? -- David G.
