Well... as someone who has donated 25 btc to EFF, I am qualified to comment.
When I first started using bitcoins, The Faucet gave me .05. Id did get me started... so I do have some sympathy.
But not enough to donate 5000 times more than I got out of it.
What do I want? I want the EFF to accept bitcoins. Cash what you have... or, return to the donors accounts.
