Imagine you have a domain called lasvegasrealestate.net you put a lot of hard work in to it and use it in your marketing. Most people will remember the lasvegasrealestate part but will most likely forget the .NET and type in .COM
I am sure the person who owns .COM appreciates you advertising for them. Just my 2 cents.

Your are absolutely correct LVH.
.COM owners benefit a great deal from the effort of .NET owners.
The general public will always default to .COM when they don’t have a Domain bookmarked or written down.
Same applies with owners of Domains with hyphens. The public often forgets or simply omits the hyphens. Example: lasvegas-realestate.net can easily be confused with lasvegasrealestate.com.
When dealing with the general public always use the K.I.S.S. rule!
