MODERATORS
I'm a Firefox fanboy, but a lot of these expenses do seem really odd.
Is there any organization with totally claear finances and nothing strange anywhere?
I haven't seen one.
This analysis means nothing since it is only one daya point.
Like saying "you are worst human being because you are jaywalked yesterday", there is no comparstion with other companies in smiliar business.
Those are Google and Microsoft. Are they really better than Mozilla
I think a more accurate metaphor would be "you are the worst human being because people gave you money to buy food and you spent it on luxury items".
Also, while a lot of organizations have shady balance sheets, that's not a good thing nor a reason for us to accept it.
