Is queerNet.Org a Net or an Org? Both? What is the meaning of Net in the domain name that you use? > > It's more like saying it's OK for everyone to put "MD" after their name > because it's cool, and a shingle in front of your house with "Joe Blow, > MD" shouldn't be taken to indicate you're a medical doctor. I don't know of other acronyms/short forms today that use MD. Net or .Net points to many things, including, computer networks, people networks, fishNet works, and the InterNet. Prolly many others as well. It's most common use today, in my opinion, is a short form of the Internet. The Net. The medium shared and used by many different types of people, orgs, governments and companies. So i say NyET to your arguement that .Net should be used exclusively by computer network administrators.
