Is queerNet.Org a Net or an Org? Both?
What is the meaning of Net in the domain name that you use?

On the left side ofd the TLD, it means we supply human networking.

Hell, it could be "fishnetstockings.org" for all that matters.
But in the TLD, it should classify.

Net or .Net points to many things, including,
computer networks, people networks, fishNet works, and the InterNet.
Prolly many others as well.

But there's no reason for it to be used as that in a TLD because "I think I'm nettish, so I want .net."

It's most common use today, in my opinion, is a short form of the Internet.

The Net.

But it had a perfectly useful purpose -- one that didn't need to be eliminated because you think netting is what you do so you want to be .net. And after all, if you COMmunicate, you should be .com -- there should be no expectation of commercial activity. And if your commercial entity is ORGanized, why not put it in .org?
Do whatever the poop you want, they shouldn't have any meaning or expectation, they're just separate and equal namespaces.

It's confusion for the sake of vanity.
