“JWM, thank you that was insightful. I guess I underestimated my little hobby, thinking it was an electronic modern day barbershop only interesting to those of us participating in it.”

No problem. I’ll go one step further with this. I have long suspected that some of the trolls and newbies who still occasionally post here are really the MSM. Think about it. If you had to report on this story recently, these sites would make your job really easy as a reporter. If you wanted to get some opinions on what the bloggers think then what better way than to ask a stupid question or one that is obviously wrong headed. You would get a barrage of responses that would range from helpful to confrontational (me mostly).

These housing blogs are a treasure trove of information on a really complicated subject and they have a lot credibility right now for having made a lot of correct calls on the RE market.
