Hi Helen Sorry to learn that you had the wrong impression about ".org" . It is merely a catch-all suffix applied to domains that don't fit into the other top level domain categories: ".com", ".gov", ".edu", or country. It has little to do with whether the domain is run by a non-profit organization (although many non-profit organizations' domains use the suffix ".org") or whether the domain has relinquished any proprietary rights, copyrights, or has a benevolent attitude and feels obliged to share information freely with viewers. Alas, unlike the good old days when the internet was primarily occupied by members of the armed forces, government projects, academicians, and researchers, the internet is now largely driven by advertising, commerce, and greed. It's too late to hope for a new domain suffix ".nfs" for "nice folks who share". I'd write a critical note to Al Gore, self-proclaimed father of the internet. Cheers!
