Thanks John. I hadn't seen that video yet. Last time I checked there were only three.

Makes sense that .edu and .gov shouldn't really carry any extra weight because of the tld alone. Otherwise every student on the planet could pretty easily manipulate things. I have to admit I was beginning to think they might be more important given all the seos, many or who I respect greatly, were seeming to climb on board. I guess I just need to listen to you.

I'll just go back to looking at them the same way I always have and the way I look at all links. Not that I've been actively pursuing .edu and .gov links or have any for that matter.
