A guy in the Plat/1K thread posted something I've thought for a long time, but am too shy and cautious to ever write out: It makes no sense to call 100M EQM's "1k." Or 2P or whatever. They sound like addresses of cracked window dives in public housing low rise walk ups. The industry standard is precious metals, if not precious stones.

I'm glad he pointed out that elephant in the room, and since it's the CO forum, won't get flamed too badly, certainly. If he were on FaceBook or the Huffington Post or some other social medium, I'd fan him. If I were on either or both of them myself, that is.

Same here!:) I just saw Steve Gadfly's post that he has a gig the night of June 11th. So, if folks are up for it -- maybe we'll drop by & check it out! I am aware that we have an early-ish morning on the 12th though!:eek:

Turns out I am not interested in buying a $7 wine glass just to buy $5 tastes of wine. Cool event, though.

I am part of a group of neighbors who is pushing for placing liens on the places to avoid future financial issues with the complex.

I'm really on the fence on this one. As a homeowner with an HOA, some folks stopped paying just because they had an issue with the builder. Had nothing to do with the HOA. Rest of us get stuck with the bill. What's the recourse?

But.. to take away a home over a few hundred bucks.. there has to be a better way. Not sure.

It pencils out right on a cusp, this milestone tonight. 850 posts; say 10 posters committed to it. 85 posts per. Each averaging 2 minutes a post: under 3 hours, or just after midnight Eastern. On the other hand, let it go, and the West Coast guys (yeah, you, Trust) might just PWP it over with little or no competition while the City that never sleeps sleeps.

What to do...

Lay low and snipe it.. let teh others do the hard work. :p :D

The database field in their systems is 2 text characters wide. No special reason other than that.

My group of homeowners is not interested in getting the places sold, they are simply interested in getting the liens placed so that the future sales result in funds to the HOA.

Note the word "deferred". This year it will be difficult to come by.

A :D event at work today. I was sitting at the admin desk grumbling at the computer when a co-worker from down the hall walked down the hall and then back doing the "I'm hot and know it" walk. I got to watch her both times. The things you can see from an admin desk.
