HAM vs BCM

[Skook]

Hey crabman,

Welcome to VanPeak. I have been following your posts and those of others in the great HAM debate over there at VCI. It will be interesting to see how the issue evolves here at VP should others care to jump in.

As for that linking issue, I went to postimage.org > about > Add image uploading to your forum and there it says:

Quote:The Simple Image Upload mod enables image uploading on your forum. All images are stored on our fast and secure network so it won't take up any of your bandwidth. Image uploading is very simple and your images will never be removed for inactivity. This mod is perfect solution for forums where visitors are not tech savvy and don't know how to upload image or don't know how to use [img] bbcode.

So, it would appear the VP forum would need to add this module for you to link to your images. This is something you will have to discuss with 'admin' if it is something you really need. You could send him a PM.

Now, crabman, I am a little embarrassed to admit this but I am not very good a reading graphs especially when they’re not labelled. So, the numbers running up the left side of your graph - what do they represent? Are they related to the legend on the right?

I will assume that the columns are moving left to right and have a relationship to months and years. Is that a good guess? You say in your post:

Quote:...it appears that BCM was the primary driver of Vancouver price increases from ~2002 until mid-2009 -- since Vancouver and Victoria followed very similar price increases. However, since July 2009, the Teranet Index for Vancouver is up 31% while the Victoria index is unchanged.

Okay, but how can I verify this if the months and years or at least the years are not indicated along the bottom? Sorry, am I just being dense? This is so embarrassing. Wait a light bulb went off, the legend must be referring to the Teranet Index since you mention it in that quote. So, are those numbers going up the left the Teranet percentages? Is this a Teranet graph or is it yours? You don't indicate one way or the other.

It seems like you have a good argument here, but I really can’t be certain until you can fill in these blanks. Maybe I'm just tired, it's been a long day.
