No need, I achieved my desired result: to extract a more thoughtful response on the topic. You're distinction between fungible and non-fungible assets is really quite good.
It's a shame you didn't see the humor in my retort regarding the pet name your wife calls you. That's OK. No personal offense was intended. As far as my "attack-laden style"... let's just say that I'm not shy about defending my position when I encounter responses like " So you want to turn America into a Bolshevik paradise because you hate the Rockefellers and Kennedys?" or "Invoking communism in the name of Jefferson."
It took a little teeth pulling, but I did manage to get a more thoughtful comment from you than the others. Thanks-you.
