poster new to the group and I had a few minutes <grin>, the post is

Subject: Value in paying off mortgage principal with unsecured low APR
loans?
Organization: Computational Genomics Group
Message-ID: <aofq7i$8f4$1@nntp6.u.washington.edu>

I get two kinds of unsecured loan offers these days: ones that let me
borrow money for 0% APR for about a year or 18 months, and ones that
have a low fixed APR (3.9%) until the loan is paid off.

Now I also have a mortgage at a rate of 6.125%. Is it worth paying off
the principal using these unsecured loans since it'll save me a great
deal in interest?

The issues that make me hesitant are carrying around large unsecured
loans, and also the tax benefits of having the mortgage loans.
