Regarding why .org is 2nd to .com in value. There is a little known 'secret' involving .org well beyond what has been discussed here.
I am not talking about its value due to the trust and credibility that goes with it but something totally different, and also potentially worth a lot more than anything else.
Sorry, do not want to reveal what this is at this time as too many of us knowing about it could jeopardize its value.
