Can we end this debate?
I have no desire to hear people's opinions on government tax policy. I
have firm opinions of my own on this subject, but I'm keeping my mouth
shut about them because this is NOT the place for such arguments.
When TUCOWS announces their particular policy, we can discuss that.
Bitching about EU or US tax policy in general, on the other hand, is a
political discussion, and as Elliot pointed out, those are inappropriate.
Thanks.
