		<description>Greg, 

A great idea and really useful. A months notice is often not enough however. Any chance you would like to make a real estate events calendar for 2010.........and beyond. People could contribute when they know dates are fixed? 

Many thanks.

		<description>I always heard the story of the naming of HAL.

But shifting the RPR letters to create SOS is down right funny.

I spit my coffee out when i read that</description>

		<title>Comment on 58% of Lake County agents say calREDD is &#8220;below inadequate&#8221; ? by Suzeeq</title>

		<description>If it&#039;s all politics then it&#039;s real bad politics.  So many businesses have suffered in Lake County under Calredd&#039;s defunct MLS system. 
The audacity to keep on marketing it to other small town associations in its current incarnation is bordering on criminal. 
There is too much conflict of interest all around: our dues paying CAR to pay Calredd and now that it is proving again to be such a failure who do we call?  The CAR legal hotline? hmmmm?   
Who wants a MLS system monopolizing the market place anyway?  
Bad idea and a defunct system and covert politics - whose going to call the pot black and whose going to fess up and take responsibility?</description>

		<description>Second verse, same as the first.  

Let&#039;s face it, it&#039;s mostly a political decision.

What other rational explanation could there be for an assocation/mls to put it&#039;s members at risk by having their MLS service provided by a vendor (Concentric) with no real employees and finances that are supported by a portion of a $3 million line of credit from C.A.R.(member dues money, by the way), to calREDD, to Concentric.  What kind of sustainable business model is that?

This is why the working agents and brokers in the field need to pay closer attention to what their association leadership is doing.</description>
