I could see taking on a case on behalf of someone who is a victim of another abusing the system say by an NPE troll. Wading into legal reform and becoming a lobbyist organization is another matter entirely in my mind.

Generally speaking from the evidence we see around us on a daily basis, the EFF is failing to hold the line in its mission as it is. They have no easy task. I don't really see how biting off yet even more than you can chew and becoming further diluted helps. Should the ACLU be active in environmental causes? We can agree to disagree about how best to achieve political reform and maintain credibility. There are indeed many ways to skin a cat.
