.org was never meant as a domain for nonprofits; it was meant as a catchall to be used when your organization didn't fit into .com, .net, .edu or .gov.
Do you have a reference for that Steven? It doesn't match what I remember...
The MITRE Corporation registered mitre.org in 1985 and the Aerospace Corporation registered aero.org in 1987. This idea that .ORG was only for non-profit organizations is an example of historical revisionism propogated by people who were not there at the time the TLDs were created. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: michael@memra.com http://www.memra.com - *check out the new name & new website*
