Buyorhold, my apologies if my posts sounded rude, it was meant in a spirit of humor. Ditto what SD said, you have to have thick skin on the blogs, but in trade you will get some wisdom and insight from some great minds that you might not encounter in your normal circles, and you might get some feedback from someone who screams at passing cars, the cost of free advice. If it was lending bubble you were referring to about mocking you (which I think it was) you have to admit you walked into it throwing down a deposit and then asking for advice. At least you were brave enough to not go with the “a friend of mine from work” angle, those crack me up.
