My understanding is that Points were (are) extremely popular in Zone 2. 
Personally I didn't really understand it - The same software is essentially in
play and the same end-goal is accomplished by being an unlisted/unpublished 
Node who connects to another system.

You see this now in an echo designed for testing; one person is so adamant 
that writing messages via a Point is somehow much better than using a BBS to 
write messages. The result of using either approach is the same... a message.

Bringing us to my "point" about how if we take away the techie-aspect from 
newcomers and focus on a decent mobile/tablet app, thats a step in the right 
direction.
