		<description>And  just like your kid&#039;s score, do you want to know my analogy.

When the dark cloud is looming over your head on sky, but haven&#039;t started raining yet, don&#039;t tell us &quot;it&#039;s an EXTREMELY GOOD weather&quot;.

Gosh, you are not a weatherman, but a plain simple real estate agent. And nobody has to rely no his market/weather forecast.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The kid so far has gotten one 97 scores out of 6 subjects. The others are all at all 100 plus extra credit. Where does it the extrapolation to 80 come from? Is it your agenda at work again, or just your math skills?&lt;/i&gt;
----------

You are in in your usual game play again. Now you are adding your condition &quot;6 subjects&quot; blah blah blah.

And this is a classic example of your comprehension problem. I did not do extrapolation. I described a hypothetical scenario of &quot;declining the score&quot;. You have hard time to understand this simple description.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;If you count up his postings in other threads, it amounts to a full time job!&lt;/i&gt;
------------

Of course it is fulltime job and I should get paid accordingly. And I don&#039;t get commissions for getting spreading NAR-like propaganda either. :(</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Burbed should start paying this guy. He’s working overtime.

Yeah, maybe I have too much time to count, but not as much as Pralay.&lt;/i&gt;
----------

He he! I would be very happy to get paid. After all, I am &quot;unemployed&quot;, according to RE.

BTW, Thanks for counting. I will give $10 for that, after I get paid. :)</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;I would not worry about my kid getting 97. But declining the score gradually like 100, then 97, then 90, then 80? I would pay attention. This is something you won’t understand because you don’t believe in past data and trend based on it, right?

The kid so far has gotten one 97 scores out of 6 subjects. The others are all at all 100 plus extra credit. Where does it the extrapolation to 80 come from? Is it your agenda at work again, or just your math skills?</description>

		<description>Of the 188 comments so far in this thread, guess how many are written by Pralay?

86.

Burbed should start paying this guy. He&#039;s working overtime.

Yeah, maybe I have too much time to count, but not as much as Pralay.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Please focus on rational discussions.&lt;/i&gt;
------------

Come on RE, I was expecting something more in the line of post #182. :)

Is &lt;b&gt;rational=game-playing&lt;/b&gt; (something that Madhaus described earlier) in your &quot;RealEstater Dictionary&quot;?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Oh, BTW, if your kid comes home with a 97 score out of 100, please don’t beat him up because his grades are declining. After all, he did score 100 last year.&lt;/i&gt;
---------------

First of all, I would not &quot;beat him up&quot; for any circumstance - even if he gets a big ZERO. You got be having great culture in your &lt;b&gt;&quot;management class&quot;&lt;/b&gt; neighborhood! Or may be this is part of the process of making &quot;&lt;b&gt;smart&lt;/b&gt;&quot; people with &quot;&lt;b&gt;brain power&lt;/b&gt;&quot;. Otherwise I don&#039;t understand where it is coming from.
