Well, good on ya. I felt it was a little shallow but was unsure why. Did you address your letter to the Editor? -- they may print it. In any event, I will be waiting on their response.

Disclosure: I have a HELOC and have used it often for just such purposes. It is my only mortgage and currently has a zero balance. Nevertheless, I would use it in a heartbeat if I thought it useful. It is a source of funds with relatively low cost and certainly convenient. Risk, of course, is determined on a case by case basis.
