If anything I think they do a service to realtors by warning them about what's going on. There are too many realtors and there are many tools now available for consumers (as they mention with Travel and Stocks in the late 90's) that allows them to bypass using a realtor. I'm in the middle of a buy/sell and didn't use a realtor for either end. It may have been a little extra work, but it saved tens of thousands of dollars, well worth it.

The problem is that these techies and business school grads are SO SMART, they resent anyone without their background getting ahead. It's a "class" thang....
