I don't know what to make of this, but GuideStar seems to incorrectly list the WMF's physical address in Washington, DC... even though that's just a PO box address the WMF maintains to receive donations.

Why does WMF have its PO box in Washington DC? Did they outsource their donation processing to a company that runs out of DC?
Edit: Ah, here it is. Their donations by check are handled by "Merkle Response Services", who I guess has a processing center in DC (their headquarters is in nearby Columbia, MD).

Certainly not when compared to Wikipedia Review.
Certainly not when compared to anything you have ever accomplished in your miserable life, hiding behind your pseudonymous troll account, sniping away stupidly at everything and anyone, right Michael?
Selina, if you're still paying attention and not just firing off your musings about sites that look like "a joke" to you, http://www2.guidestar.org/rxg/about-us/board-of-directors.aspx.
Ah, whichever mod has censored CL off of this thread, thank you. Tiresome, to no end.
