Who in the hell are you? An IRS agent? Jim's mother? What's your annual salary?

One big difference:

Z2 is not soliciting money. Jim Robinson is. If you don't see the difference then there is not much more to say.

And you know what? This is a privately held company, isn't it. Free Republic, LLC. Do you know what LLC means? He does not have to disclose finances to anyone. No one is being told they have to contribute money. It is strictly volunteer. I could give a rip what he does with it. I don't own any shares in FR, he is not held accountable to anyone but his business, which is none of ours. None of us needs to be here, but isn't that the beauty of a capitalism? If we didn't participate in this forum, or contribute money, there wouldn't be a FR, now would there?
