Dan wrote: "... but it's really silly that so many nonprofits, governmental bodies, etc. are using those dumb-ass .com addresses that imply that they're really commercial.  'GoArmy.com'... bah, humbug."  As if any commercial enterprise would use the GoArmy.com domain.  Yeah, right!  And if one did, it would be misleading. But, Dan's point is well-written overall.  I just think his example was not very good. BTW, many community colleges choose .com because .edu is denied them for some odd reason.  [I do not blame them for not wanting to use collegename.cc.statename.us domain.]
