    [Blunderov] At the risk of being hideously simplistic, does the value
    not derive from simple ownership of a scarce resource? 'Mail' is almost
    indispensable in a domain name that intends to deal in e-mail, and there
    are only 26 letters in the alphabet.

    Is it possible that the very term 'e-mail' has imposed a sort of memetic
    template that is obeyed subconsciously? Or are there more technical
    reasons for the form (n)mail?

    Anyway, taking all this into consideration along with 'money' and
    'information' suggests to me that there is might be a class of abstract
    objects that, in spite of their abstractness, are dealt with as if they
    were in fact concrete. A hybrid meme?

    Any takers?

    Best Regards
