Martin,

I've so enjoyed reading your stuff and getting to know you. You are a class-act here on the Vine. Thanks for educating and entertaining us.

Hello...just read your post on "Where's the outrage?" I agree....! I am a real estate agent..and am knee deep in this mess... I am working with a single mother now, who has 2 autistic children. Her loan adjusts every month, she called the bank to ask for help..after all they tell the homeowner to call "before there is a problem" She was told that they could not help her....because SHE WAS NOT BEHIND in her payments.....

She got behind..to get the help she needed, and when she called back was told that she needed to make a good faith payment to get help Then she was told they could only give her a fixed rate for 6 months... She gave up and walked away...

The fundamental problem is...when people are encouraged to walk away, and damage their credit.....it reduces there buying power....it's a snow ball effect......therefore, they can't go out and purchase goods and services....If we keep going at this rate....having people, who start out with good credit, destroying their credit to get help......., I don't know how this economy will ever get on track....

Martin, your writing elevates the Newsvine community, and it's a pleasure to know you and share a piece of your world. Keep up the excellent work. And please do write more of those touchy-feely articles -- you hooked me with your Steelers piece ;)

An environment of actual dialogue is encouraged in Mandleman's quadrant of the Newsvine Universe. Unafraid of opposing opinions intelligently presented, and sympathetic with earnest seekers of common truths embodied in real humanity, he provides fertile soil for real diversity.

Mandleman: I am nominating you HeadMan of the Vine Tribe! You got a couple of runners up, but, day to day, your column has become a daily habit! Thanks.

Wow. Someone inspired, passionate and complete in thought and discussion. I only wish I had the time to put together such well written and well though out articles. I look forward to pursuing the discussions...

I await with glee, the next installment of the Mandelman Chronicles. Your keen insights, intelligence and fairness are remarkable. Your humor is "roll in the floor" funny. A man that does details and numbers - OH be still my heart!! Martin, you are a good decent man. I am humbled to call you Friend.

Mr. M Man,
I really enjoy most all the things you write. I've tried to read them all. Sometimes I don't exactly agree, other times, Wow I could've written it my self! I dearly loved "My Name is Martin. Great job!
