Phillip, if all you've got to contribute to the discussion is an ad hominem argument about the EFF,
Pointing out that a statement is untrue and the party refuses to retract it after their error is pointed out is not Ad Hominem.
What you are engaging in here is a logical fallacy called ad nauseam which is using a false claim of ad hominem to dismiss a claim.
If a man has lied it is not ad hominem to point out that he is a liar and future claims he makes may be lies.
DFN accounts for half the graph that the EFF showed. They made no attempt to find out if their assertion as to what the graph said was accurate and they continue to make the claim that they have found 600 independent entities able to issue certs even after agreeing in private that this is not true.
I suggest that rather than criticizing me for pointing it out you should ask members of the EFF board why they tolerate this.
