Except that e-mail addresses belong to people at the COMpany, 
(they're paid, right?).

I can understand the net/com distinction, but the only place .org 
should have in the equation is to prevent someone from cybersquatting 
it. There is nothing about Tucows/OpenSRS that "doesn't fit 
elsewhere" (as, paraphrased, the RFC puts it)... OpenSRS is a network 
services provider (.NET), as well as a commercial entrprise (.COM).
