Nigel, Nanog: The original intent of the inquiry was not to bring into question the intelligence of Nigel; I can't speak to that since I don't know him, nor did I even know of him. My communication also does not speak to the potential success of PacketExchange. My question was simply a curiosity ping of _why_ people peer with each other; in my mind, it had always, and never not, been a way to reduce cost of traffic sent/rec'd. I was curious as to whether or not others had a similar view to mine.
