That’s dot-com to you

Am I the only one who’s moderately disturbed that the U.S. Post Office’s website is at http://www.usps.com/, with http://www.usps.gov/ set up as a redirect?

I mean, sure, there’s been a lot of abuse of .com, .net. and .org domains, with a vague sense of interchangeability between them… but this is the government, right? They’ve got all this lovely namespace that’s set aside only for them; wh do they need the dot-com? Even if there’s a perfectly good reason for it — like, they don’t want someone setting up Pr0n w4r3z there or something — shouldn’t they set that up as the redirect?

Or maybe there’s something I’m missing, and USPS was privatised when I wasn’t looking.
