Nice job Keith of grabbing Olive.org. I say hold on to it because...

How do we know this charity is legit? GOOGLEing around...no charity in
Santiago with the name OLIVE (though likely an acronym). Dermot Kenny
comes up as doctors, professors - mostly British and Irish references
- nothing in Chile. It's possible that he's president but not located
in Chile (not likely though).

We could write back for more details or maybe sic a private
investigator on him but for now I vote for nicely passing the offer.

BTW oso.net/com/org are taken.

Wrong Oisboid. Debbie is little Georgie H. and since she wasn't around
us during the hardcore Hinklemeyer phase she never learned herself
the true spelling. And if I spell the critter wrong then it's just for
obnoxious purposes.

Oliff.net/com/org taken. Oliffs.net/com/org available.

A likely story Pal. Why didn't you look up the domain earlier on? Of
course you'd cover the costs but if you're really a charity I'd expect
you'd appeal to us to just give you the domain so that you can spend
the money on the poor kids.

Not a commercial venture...why bring it up. Where's the frigging
semicolon or periods. You've got run on sentences.

Put your site on Yahoo for free. You're a charity - save money!!

grrr....

Ozzy again - ciao.
