Yikes. I don't know the guy, but my initial research gives of a strong whiff of grift.

@jztusk @thomholwerda I have no idea who this guy is, but he linked to primary sources and drew the obvious conclusions. If you have dispute about the numbers in the annual report from *Mozilla itself* I'd sure love to hear about that.

So even though I agree there's a *lot* to critique about Mozilla it's disappointing to see you amplifying and linking to this person.

{EDIT: of course that's not the only reason I support DNA Lounge, there's also Death Guild, but still.]
