Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award. 
Default Re: Australia housing bubble

I knew a bloke who was a hard-working tradesman, brought down by IBS. He ended up doing small warranty jobs and inspections for an importer because no matter his ethic, the very real prospect of him dropping one in his pants with just seconds warning made most of his trade work unfeasible.

He might have started at a similar time to YF, but uncontrollable circumstances greatly compromised his outcomes (and decimated his income). I didn’t get on with this fellow but wholly empathised with his situation - still pushing forward rather than bleating and on the DSP. So, I absolutely agree with the comment of stars aligning for some.
