Not all banks took part in the crazy selling and buying of debt. In the UK HBOS and NorthernRock were the two worst ones. Other banks, notably HSBC, a massive international group, has been almost unaffected because their management knew these credit products were bad and didnt buy into them. Let the few bad banks fold. If those savers loose their cash then so what? OK, its tough, perhaps the govt would do beter to pay them directly, but to fund a business that has been incompetently managed by taxpayers money?

because you're only paying interest + expected depreciation. At the 3 year point in a normal car loan you've got a decent chunk of equity. That only happens in a lease if the leasing company botches it's projections. Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly".

Thanks, greatly appreciated.

I think I understand that. It would be a good idea if it were implemented, but I doubt ten people would band together and force a poster to read the posting guidelines. It might be more efficient to set N to 5

Yes; but after a little research I found out how to access the voting form, but I tried to vote a 3 on my own post, and it wouldn't let me. Besides that, the method looked completely different to how it would need to for such an attack to work (the checking for the number of votes is done inside the same method that applies the votes; unless someone used a memory editor, that approach wouldn't work)

Yeah, I'd like to, too. But it is low in my ( wife's :) ) spending priorities. We did have a TV program where very "English" people agreed to have their DNA mapped. The presence of Slavic or sub-Saharan ancestry, gave rise to some amusing responses. Bob Emmett
