What I find fascinating here is the trollish nature of this thread. MPO/Dingo, I haven’t seen you post before. That is not to say that you haven’t, I just haven’t seen you. So for you to be able to come here and whip up such a frenzy is fascinating to me. You didn’t write anything that hasn’t been said before. Nothing in your post was much more than a snide and bitter remark and yet you really hit a chord. It takes quite a barb to get bugs worked up like that.
I noticed in one of your posts that you had taken advantage of the bubble, but got out in early 04 on your most vulnerable properties. Now that shows quite a bit of prescience. Most people were blissfully unaware, sans this community and a few others, of how inflated the bubble had become. If you were aware of the bubble, and how severely inflated it was, How can you now take the position that wishing for a return to normalcy is some Chinese curse? After all the subtext of your, “careful what you wish for,” comment is that we all just might get it.
That takes some pretty good moral flexibility in my book, but its a rather small book, maybe you read it?
