Wait wait wait. I would rather not have to - but I think you're right. Even more so considering there should be a wave of forclosures coming up here pretty quickly... they had a moratorium that will be over?

It feels wrong to take glee in others misfortune - but at the same time - I didn't go out and spend $350,000 on a house worth $100,000.
