>They are NOT meaningless, even if the intention for each is not being met. Quite simply, .com means "commerce," .net means "Company Network" and .org means "Organization."But those are not being met as you say yourself. Registrars themselves, including NSI, say businesses should register all three.

>Um, there is nothing wrong with strong specialization in a TLD charter, so long as the TLD is restricted. Then the registrants would have to be members of a respective institution, and the approval process is different than it is for unrestricted TLDs.Agreed absolutely.

>(Damn, that IS a word. Obscuration.com. Hmmmm. . .  It's available! See! We DON'T need new TLDs!)Well, I'm glad that's settled. :)
