Why dot com?

Editor:
Domain extension names are usually an indication of the purpose of the organization selecting that extension. The .edu is an extension for educational institutions, .gov signifies a government organization, while .com signifies a commercial business. The .org is granted to those organizations with non-profit service goals. So it is rather interesting that the champions of duping Castro Valley voters into voting to make Castro Valley a city have chosen to present themselves as “CastroValleyCity.com”. Why did we not see this mystery group as CastroValleyCity.org? Is this group working as a “business” to force city-hood onto Castro Valley residents? Ah yes, I love the smell of stuffed ballot boxes in the morning!
