Re: [irs-discuss] What's in a name?

[Hannes Gredler <[e-mail]>]

for non US-taxpayers the name 'IRS' is not as negative co-notated as one might guess.
it is in fact meaningless; - the jin is already out of the bottle (press articles, in-house chatter)
and changing names at this point it will be likely creating further confusion;
keeping status quo is IMO less painful;
