        Did you want to use the .net or .com tld for your site? If you want to use .com as your primary, you just need to do 301's to .com and some server items. Your organics should (more or less) stay the same.  Is that what you were asking?

            Yes, you will need to add some lines in your .htaccess file on the .net version pointing to the.com version using 301's. Will you lose any organic positions? If done correctly, you will maintain your rankings (minor fluctuations typically will happen).
