If you go to Network Solutions website, click on help and read up on what
they say about the issue, you will find that they make no distinction
whatever between .COM, .NET and .ORG.  They do not enforce at all the old
convention that .ORG was reserved for non-profits and .NET for net-centric
entities.  So, if you want that all the various permutations of
THERMOLINK.??? to point to you, you should register .ORG and .NET as well
as .COM.

.EDU still seems to be reserved for educational institutions.
