Diversity of opinion makes this board interesting: it's boring if everyone agrees because then there's nobody to argue with!
Also, different users seem to be trying to get different things out of posting here.0 -

I guess that`s because we are coming from different angles. I am probally one of the oldest regulars here. Probally one of the most gob smacked as well. After the last recession when I knew many that lost their homes, and as I understood it, for the first time ever, I honestly believed that this would never happen again. The whole hpi has been alarming to me. I have no idea what it`s based on other than some strange voodoo of finance and lo and behold, the whole ponzi system seems to be falling apart.
Oh well, what do I know?0 -

But my hat is doffed to Dithering Dad a master of prose. :T'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

SquatNow, perhaps?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
My answer to this would depend on what I've just been reading!
