I apologize to you, CardiffBaseball, and anyone else who took offense at my comments about religion
I'll accept though I don't find it to be necessary. My problem was not so much the tone of political/religious stuff, but that my tendency was to respond to a lot of that. and in my case I start spending too much time thinking of a rebuttal. Fact is I am not very religious. Christian yes, but I am not very churchy. However I feel the need at times to stick up for the humble servant type who builds a roof on a church in a poor area or Mexico or someone that stands in soup line. (even though I am not always the best representative of this kind of person). For instance I get in a shouting match about religion, that isn't something I'd picture one of these types doing, so why would I?
The lure of internet debate is a killer….

I do have confirmation that jg is alive and well.
He occasionally posts on “calculated risk” “Yes sir” I guess he can find time for that when he is not running his La Jolla soup kitchen.July 3, 2008 at 10:54 AM #232787NotCrankyParticipantPosters are dropping like flies, posting a lot less and gone after coming on like a San Diego brush fire.

One, before being a housing bear was like being a Christian in Rome in the early days. We needed the mutual support to maintain the faith. Now everybody is a believer in the downturn, so that self reinforcement isn’t necessary anymore. Just open any newspaper and hear all about falling prices and a lack of demand.
Two, it seems that people use to grade properties alot. Someone would post something, and then it would get picked apart from every angle. Renters, LL,RE agents, morgage brokers, appraisers, everyone took their shot at why this house wasnt worth it. Now, most of the posts are either OT, or finanical in nature. People are biding their time and waiting cause there isnt anything else to do till selles get a clue and the payments start to adjust.
Plus most of the new posters are people looking for advice on how to save themselves, not real converts to a conservative economic view prevelent on this site. The advice is almost always the same, and not what was desired, so they keep wandering in the adjustable option arm waistland till they find their savior or run outa time.

July 3, 2008 at 11:41 AM #232682TheBreezeParticipantI don’t post as often as I used to. The main reason is that I’ve realized that it’s going to be a long grind down, so I don’t see a need to visit this site every day.
Things were more interesting back in September and October when the housing and financial markets really started to come apart. The Bear Stearns bailout also seemed to bring a lot of posters to this site.
But now, things seem to just be slowly drifting down, so there aren’t really any inflection points or major financial events to draw posters here.
