There's nothing pleb-ish about it, my hands type www.ilug.ie
cos my brain tells me...
"Hey, Brian, brain here. We want to goto the WWWebpage of the ILUG now.
It's in IrEland."
"Eyes here. Brain, you fool."
"D'oh. Sorry guys. I keep thinking I want to see the webpage of the ILUG,
which I do. I don't think along the lines of "Hey, I'm intrested in Linux in
Ireland.".""
"But brain, how come you never need to think of red bricks before logging onto
Redbrick?"
"Cos of habit, and it's an easy mistake to make, the ILUG.ie one."
I don't think there should be more than one domain used, and www.linux.ie
sounds cool, though.
