In fact, i view .Net domains as "seriously" as i do .com's. I think .Net is

.net was never intended to be used for systems that had user accounts -- it was created for the routers and other infrastructure machines that made up the net.
UUnet was able to bully their way into uu.net, and a great idea was then ignored.
