Doughboy....try to find today's Wash Post story (page 1, Business section) on this NAR/Justice Department situation and see whether you can decipher the interpretation in that story. I read it three times and still couldn't understand one thing except that the reporter was just babbling instead of explaining the core issues in intelligible form. I don't care how many times you post to me about this subject, I will not engage in a debate. Media coverage of the situation sucks. NAR has just about thrown up its hands, too, from what I can see. If the Justice folks think they can change individual state laws and the actions of thousands of independent companies operating in a highly competitive environment, more power to them. Also, if they think that people can "buy houses off the internet", more power to them and to the people who try to do so. Ever since I saw the CNBC interview by Maria B. with the NAR lawyer about the whole subject, and the lawyer kept trying to make Maria understand the subject, and Maria's responses revealed she did not understand, and that she was operating on preconceived notions, I decided that trying to discuss the whole thing is hopeless. Let the chips fall where they might.
