Detail from the history of US home financing

Here's a passage from the book Fixing the Housing Market, by Franklin Allen at al.

In chapter 2, the authors are engaged in some historical stage setting. They write that a major result of the 1890s economic downturn in the U.S. was "the virtual elimination of the so-called national institutions [in the building-and-loan market.]. This type of institution developed in the 1880s by gathering deposits and making mortgage loans on a national scale through the use of branch offices and the mail. Although the downturn of the 1890s hit both nationally based and locally based institutions, local associations attributed their problems to the improper loan strategy and subsequent failures of the national institutions. They claimed that customers were unable to distinguish between the two types of firms during the panic of 1893. The increased competition engendered by the nationals also led to the establishment of the US.League of Local Building and Loan Associations. This group became very influential during the subsequent years and successfully lobbied the state legislature to curb the acrtivities of the national associations, a move that eventually drove the nationals out of business."

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I
ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

I usually do not comment, but I browsed a few of the remarks
on this page "Detail from the history of US home financing".
I actually do have some questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or do some of these responses look as if they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other social sites, I'd like to follow everything new you
have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your
public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or
linkedin profile?

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.

But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.

I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there
a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Knowledge is warranted belief -- it is the body of belief that we build up because, while living in this world, we've developed good reasons for believing it. What we know, then, is what works -- and it is, necessarily, what has worked for us, each of us individually, as a first approximation.
