I gotta cut you a break, asilomar, due to your handle. The only "asilomar" I'm familiar with is in the Pebble Beach/Pacific Grove area. If you live around there, you're likely very fortunate! Love that area!
Mine post was not a "bash" - to me a bash is an unfair, and exaggerated statement designed to bring people down. I try very hard to do the former, however, the latter sometimes may result.
For that reason, I don't see anything at all two-sided about lumenge's post. In fact, what he predicts could very well happen, partially depending on how much free cash folk on this board have!
