I usually silenced them by referring them back to the relevant law(s).For example, I once told a Realtor that I wanted to write certain terms on a contract, and explained that handwritten terms trump the legal verbiage in a contract according to contract law.

After a year and a half, I'm breaking my BP silence because your tale has a familiar ring to it.Being a software engineer as well, when I decided I wanted to buy, I built a massive spreadsheet (it has retired even though I haven't yet) and input every property that hit the market for nearly two years.

They do make bark silencers that you can place in your yard that emit a high-pitched sound humans can't hear but supposedly stops neighbors' dogs from barking.   

silence. 

Whats happening to you is you see the potiental and whats growing in you is the emotional attraction. your best bet it to go look at this house stand outside for a few hours have a moment of silence and never look back again.

Which silence to me is never a good thing.

Then silence.

And those 74 families didn't win because of your silence on the issue.
