You are right davelj. You must be new to the blogosphere… where such gems as “the market is clueless as usual” and “I can time the RE market” are posted all the time. Or someone predicting high inflation and utter chaos in one post, and then predicting deflation and utter chaos in the next thread.
There are some very bright posters here, but because of low barriers to entry, some posters could be 6-year olds pulling our legs. Some posters sound very assertive and authoritative, regardless of whether they know what they are talking about. But we get to used to it, and learn to tell the good from the not so good.
