Beyond Avaaz's histrionics and innuendo over banal service attacks, the
attention of the community might be better spent on considering the
material implications
Brant Olson joined yesterday but hasn't provided any information or
addressed specific concerns, as far as I know. I did get a response from
him on Twitter on a related question, so he must be paying attention.

This could literally be a textbook case in how not to handle questions from the
community and the press.
I suspect that they are using a MoveOn-perfected model for email fundraising

brought the discussion to his attention) and here is what he said:
It's a statement quoting the CEO of our hosting company. Would you mind posting
it to that discussion or asking someone to? I'm not part of it -
Totally agree, Zack!
It's a tough world out there -- for Advocacy as it is for any other venture.
