Malice, incompetence, etc. Most of those who use "teh interwebs" are firmly 
convinced that a URL *has* to be malformed if it doesn't have ".com" at the end 
of it, almost anywhere in the world. These people have no clue how these things 
work. I see charities and local government organisations with .com URLs, who 
ought to be using .org (or .org.uk, whatever) and .gov respectively.

If the people who set up websites can't get it right, what chance does Joe 
Public have?
