The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

And for inbound emails?

Anyone that has a decent geo domain can tell you they get incorrectly addressed emails for geo + service domains where the sender leaves off the service part of the domain name/email address.

Send email and let them reply

Anyway I don't see why the emails shouldn't bounce unless the user names before the @ are the same..

@snoopy feel free to chime in at any time to declare your vested interests in .com,

I mean surely some want to know why you're so desperately pumping the extension?

1 address = no confusion

2 addresses = confusion

How's my logic?

That is what is comes down to. If something in introduced that is similar to the standard that is confusing. This is why .uk has flopped, it is why other nTLDS are failing.

The standard can't be changed, it is 24 years too late, and that is why .au will "die on the vine" if it is ever introduced, just like all the other new tlds.

"A loss of logical orientation, and often of memory as well, due to a lack of normal brain function caused by injury or age."

That is a good one, "the loss of orientation" is not understanding Australia already has its logical extension, the "lack of normal brain function caused by injury or age" is people unable to acquired valuable domains and thinking "something a little bit similar" may make up for it.

How many times have we seen this play out when people move from one new tld to the next, snapping up the low hanging fruit because they think they can't get anything decent in popular extensions? Registrars want these people and they want the defensive registrations, that is what the whole thing is about.

How is .au different to .xyz, .club, .uk, .biz, .us, .asia?

You're confused about the definition of confusion...

It's a pretty straightforward definition despite your spectacularly pathetic attempt to insert your insane interpretation..

Just stumbled across this from 2013,

This is the type of stuff registrars and registries were pushing around the time of the decision that .au would be a good idea. The concept of "new tlds being a threat". Will auDA wake up ad realise that the competitive threat is actually from .com whilst .au is just another detour into the woods?

The new dot brands will alter the strategic landscape of the internet. The scenario is unprecedented — major companies like Apple, General Electric, Google, Philips and Toyota will launch their own "private internets" with a shift in focus away from the traditional dot com identity. These corporations have very big budgets to meet their aims.
