    Just my two penneth, and none of my business really, but do you think that knowing about seven house prices forums in depth shows a bit of an obsession? Maybe it's just me.

    There does appear to be a lot of sweeping statements getting made, which then get continually bit on / bumped.
    It's a sad state of affairs when sensationalism* gets more attention than well thought out discussion. :o

    *not including laughter/jokes.:cool:
