    them, or overly paternalistic like the FSF¹.

    Thanks,

    ¹ "Don't protect your web site from AI bot DDoS with Anubis because
    Anubis uses Javascript which is the devil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    [ Hmm... not sure what's paternalistic about the choice the FSF
    sysadmins make regarding the tools *they* use. ]

    The reason they don't use Anubis is not because "Javascript is the
    devil", but because it would be hypocritical of them to impose such
    a requirement on everyone that wants to access FSF resources.

    PS: BTW, "the FSF" is a fairly small organization, with a grand total of
    about a dozen employees and an annual budget of a bit more than $1M.
