because the .com domain requires some kind of maintance fee i'm not sure im saying this w/ the right jargon but ill try the .com is just hosting a "redirect" but the .us is the actual hosting site, the .com then will cost less and the .us might be a free site. they could have just kept w/ the .us but then there would be an unused .com out there w/ clyw's name on it.
i think we'd be shocked at how cheap the site is to maintian i think that richard realy only wanted to pay things up till the note is due at the latest since he is pretty much a part of what is happening?
