Coincidence ?
I think not.
Welcome Stradivarius. That’s a great post !
As many said the word “balance” applies here.
You’ll have to excuse my Chinese friend FLU. He does ALOT of Asian-bashing due to his lack of socail skills. Odd thing is – he is a crappy violin player as well. Not sure what to think about that. [/quote]

Thanks for the welcome (from everyone else, also)…I actually used to post a little around 2007 when my friends and Realtor were telling me to buy a house and I kept telling them that things weren’t adding up. I even made a spreadsheet, until I discovered Rich’s spreadsheets and his are way better than mine. Most of the time I just lurk, and I definitely don’t take any offense to FLU’s Asian-bashing–it’s pretty entertaining, and usually quite accurate.

BTW, I tried to go to a lecture at UCSD Neuroscience Institute tonight. It was called “Rhythm–the brain and a drum”, given by two neurologists and a percussionist. I showed up 10 minutes early and it was already sold out. I should have known it would fill up quickly, as UCSD is filled with Asian scientists whose mothers made them play a musical instrument.
