"You're a whiner".  :-)

Actually, I concur completely.  I _will_ give certain types of
non-network-infrastructure sites slack in ".net".  "price.net", as a
site for a comparative pricing service site, for example.

But if any commercial enterprises are in .org, then NSI has (completely
unsurprisingly) been flouting it's own rules.

Again.
