And thank you for that. Because I would have some concern that the apparent consensus that's been referred to was, in fact, manufactured because of the way the contrarians may have been silenced in one way or another and I thank you for your clarification because I would not like if such had occurred. The IMF concerns about house prices in Ireland ... you know, double digit growth rates in 2006. The concerns of the IMF in 2003 ... and a five-line note from the Minister saying, you know, "Dismiss the IMF on house prices". Didn't we pay a price for that afterwards?
