Patrick.net's housing bubble blog today faced perhaps the greatest threat in its 2+ year existence when a newcomer named "Busted" posted the following:

Busted Says:

I apologize for being so blunt, but I say change the thread or risk this blog becoming [sic] irrelavant.

Threadmaster and regular contributor, HARM, responded quickly, posting this thread in a last-ditch effort to stave off impending "irrelevance." At a hastily convened press conference, HARM declared:

"The last thing any of us here wants is to become the blog equivalent of Jimmy Carter, Yassir Arafat, or --God forbid-- the U.N. I have decided to take immediate and unilateral action, and I hope others will support me in the Coalition to Defeat Irrelevance. Thank you and God Bless!"

I'm not worried about irrelevance. When this blog is irrelevant, I'll be
pretty happy.


But a food blog or book club would be great too.

Interesting trip down memory lane. I wonder if when Patrick wrote this, he had any inclining that 6 years later his "housing blog" would in become a haven for 9/11 conspiracy theories, permabears who still think a massive price drops are just around the corner, and people fabricating and then furiously deleting posts in a never-ending troll war.
