Hi,
thanks for the link. Not sure if this means anything but the title of
this article is somewhat deceptive...

I went into the details a bit and (surprisingly to me) revenue-wise we
are right there in the middle between the other 'big' organizations. I
would have expected us to be no more than a poppy seed. But no, they
all range between a few tens of a thousand and one digit million. So
apart from paying an overly high salary to some lead figure they are
neither spending nor receiving a lot more than us.

Cheers,
Arnulf
