Sorry, don't see any value in this. Double negative with the out-of-fashion "e" prefix and the .net extension.

Also you can't take the Overture Results from a well-known term, add a letter to it and claim those are your results. It's like saying sex gets 3 million searches, so I can tell people hsex.net gets 3 million searches. 1 letter changes absolutely everything and is often the difference between a valuable name and a worthless name.

Many may disagree, but if you follow these rules, you will be ok.

1. "e" and "i" names are out. Even in dot-com.
2. don't register .cc, .bz, or .ws.
3. only register .net or .org if you find a good one-word dictionary word, or a true letter acronym.

I would just read through the archives here Wiz - there aren't many topics that haven't been covered. We have all been through the same process - started out buying names that looked good to us only to find out they weren't (and why they weren't). It usually takes a few months to sink in (and then you have a new problem - you realize it takes a lot of money to buy those names that you now realize are the good names!)

Doberry's 3-item list is a good starting point. I'm a little more adventurous in that I like good 2-word terms just fine. A lot of people do get into trouble with twos. There are so many possible combinations that you have to make sure you get one where both words add value to term (and one word is not just a space filler). Things like CheapTickets.com or ComputerTraining.com for instance are domains no one is going to pass up just because they have 2 words. Good 2-worders that describe a viable business are among my favorites. Solid one-worders are certainly the best - but also can cost big bucks to acquire.
