So jg, Perry and lostkitty think all this religion and politics talk is wonderful. Big surprise, they are the worst offenders.

I still think that this off-topic talk is driving away interest and RE postings on this blog. I do not think the fall in posting volume has been caused by a lack of movement or information in RE or the economy. There has been a lot happening there. Inventory is up, pendings are down, NODs and NOTs are going up, credit is tightening, big stuff is happening with hedge funds (Bear Sterns), etc, etc. I really think that most people don’t want to hear all this blathering about religion and politics.

If you really must incessantly beat your drum, could you please refrain from hi-jacking RE threads where the unsuspecting person gets cold-cocked while innocently reading?
