While you make an important point, that credit limits on cards and such will
be sharply curtailed, I'd have to go with Lynda on this one. Small banks
depend on deposits of actual cash assets while the big banks depended on the
continuousl swapping about of credit to create the illusion of assets.

An overall depressed economy will affect small banks, but I would not be
surprised to see most of them surviving. </HTML>
