Perhaps some charitable Irish taxpayer could sort their domain name out for them?

- overbroad 14y agoNot sure if it's relevant but one of the major "DNS providers" (that preceded Google) also chooses to domicile their operations in Ireland. They could just as well locate anywhere, but I doubt they chose Ireland for tax purposes. That just wouldn't make sense, right?
