I would also like to note that my posts in this thread are NOT exactly "replies" to those of Doc Com. Just so people don't skip MINE. And the following paragraphs are more a general discussion of domain names, so please read on even before any CliffsNotes version of those long posts is published. Quote:

I have written about this before (right here on DNF and elsewhere) that while each domain name is UNIQUE in a sense, it's whether you can find a replacement OF EQUAL CAPACITY that matters. That is also why prices vary among business.com, business.info and business.mobi. But NO, if you want to run a web project of the capacity of business.com, then business.net is NOT an option. I thought that was obvious, no?
EDIT: Oops! I actually only wrote 1 single paragraph in this part. I guess it's an art to write short and content rich at the same time.
