Jim Cheftell, re:"Fortunes may well be made by people..."

Hi Jim,

"It's no different than someone who buys land that is inherently worthless except in the case a huge mall is built there."

It appears to be a lot different. If I own land I collect rent. If I own a node, NIG collects rent... NIG collects everything.

So where is the underlying value, because it appears I DON'T own a portion of NIG.

And it is not like stock, because I don't own a portion of NIG.

And it is not like commodities because there are a limited, fixed number.

And it is not like metals because have no special relationship to currency.

I am leaning more and more to the fact you are pulling a very good April's fool joke.

In my opinion.

Jon :)
