I think you may need to update the Homepage - either by removing the
misleading text, or by clarifying the matter. I think the latter would me

Scott,

Why do you think this necessary?  From what I read of Todd's letter to Brad it
seems to me the gift was accepted graciously but with the knowledge that it did
not constitute sponsorship or any control over LUGNET itself.  If thats the
case then I am OK with it and I think the disclaimer on the Homepage is still
OK.

LUGNET in any certain way then I would have a problem but at least in my view
that has not happened yet.
