Tax Blogs

funny what you find while you're google-ing / feedster-ing yourself... came across this useful post by my namesake.  this was written by another Dave McClure in the tech industry, who even has the same middle initial -- sheesh! at least this guy's on the east coast... in fact there's yet *another* Dave McClure out here in Silicon Valley who's also in the tech industry.
