Brain Burst Dot Net

After I signed up for the Ginger Dolls Adoption ring, I tested the link to see who is before and after me.  The previous site is Country Delights Net.  I was surprised to see the dot net part of the URL in the name of the site.  My brain burst with names that naturally end in 'net'.  I typed in the first one, http://www.hair.net/, and I was redirected to Ray Ozzie's Weblog

After reading a few entries in his weblog, I wanted to contact him.  However, I didn't find an e-mail address handy on his site.  I can't really blame him for not wanting people to e-mail him.  Spam notwithstanding, this guy sounds like he really knows his stuff.  I have a few computer questions that I'd like to ask him myself.

Brun.net is in French.

Lorg.net is in Norwegian, but I did understand the English words, GAP (Good Aviation Practice).  Of course, lorgnette is pronounced 'lorn-yet'.  So it doesn't really fit.

Fish.net is in use according to Who-Is, but no website is at that URL.  Isn't there a law against people buying up domain names, and then not putting anything there?

At least Badminton.net is about the sport.  That brings to mind Tennis.net which redirected to PWP.com, Europe's racket specialist.

Of course, we have all heard of drag.net.  Update:  The countdown code from http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/ that was on this site has been removed.  I've heard from the domain owner, and they plan a site about Dragnet, the television show.

I even tried http://www.brainburst.net/.  Apparently the domain name is purchased, but no site has been created for it yet.
