People make assumptions like that about people who own their own business' all the time, regardless of the nature of the business. One of my good RL friends owns her own business selling harps, and everybody just assumes she is loaded. She isn’t. In fact, she barely breaks even. It is more of a labour of love than anything to make a stable income.

There is a certain level of understanding one must have for business to appreciate such things, I guess. That, or basic common sense.

The closest I've come to NERD is by visiting their website, but even so I can gauge the level of dedication, work and care that goes into their operation.

Another poster made the excellent point of asking if Fred Kick knows the poster was acting as a broker for him on a public form. This is very unprofessional and casts a poor light on Fred Kick, not NERD. I doubt he knows it or would approve. Free advice; don't try to help your friend like this, you are harming his reputation and business. Whatever dealings are being made, let the professionals handle it.
