I'm just curious why is it .net not .com?  I'm curious cause i always type .com accidently then have to redo it with the .net.  Its not a complaint by any means just a question.

Because someone else owns .com (though they aren't using it) ... We actually tried to buy it and the price they were asking was pretty ridiculous.

That's crazy. It seems like such an original name. They registered it four friggin years ago, though. Wonder what they were thinking of/planning on for it?
