While the article about Foreclosures is news worthy the printing of names and photos puts the Journal is the same category as those rag papers you see at the checkout stands at your local grocery stores. Losing a house to foreclosure is hard for anyone and possibly can put someone over the edge. By printing pictures of agents and buyers your paper puts those people in harms way and is to me is a blatant disregard for the safety of the public, the agents, the buyers and your readers. I, for one will make sure that your advertisers are aware of the actions of your paper and will ask those that I know to do the same. If I was paying for subscription I would definitely cancel it.
