Funny you should say that. :)
On my way back from lunch, I heard an ad on the radio for a company in
town that said: "or visit blueridgerealestate.org".
Yep. dot-org, because the dot-com variant is owned by another company
some 50 miles from here.
And doing a 'whois' on both shows that "company" didn't get "company.com"
because somebody else snagged it first. So it's a crap shoot regarding
whether the .com gets you the "official legitimate page"...
