And a lot of job postings do come from that sort of really small
business, trying to expand a bit. Plus, some of them want some
anonymity (why, I don't know, but there are plenty of jobs posted
without too much in the way of company details), so maybe they do have
a domain as well.

Anyway, it's a small downside, but nothing compared to the other
issues with the post.
