SemiBull,
Antitrust concerns have been off of my CFMT radar screen of late. But now that you mention it ...
... Yes! First Microsoft, now The Scourge of The Wafer Fab Equipment Industry, The Menace to the IC World, The Most Unclean of the Critical Cleans: CFMT! LOL!
Still, I would not completely rule out any antitrust action. This administration has proven itself quite adept and quite willing to take action anytime that it means expending the taxpayers' money -- regardless of the validity or sensibility of the action. The ends (i.e., Big Government) always justify the means (e.g., suing powerhouse firms like INTC, MSFT and CFMT).
Excellent integration of the word navel into a post. Alas, I have tried to incorporate this much maligned fixture of my abdomen into a post for months, but to no avail. I commend you for you subtle, yet effective, tribute to what remains of our earliest lifeline (yes, even earlier than the internet ... though I am quite sure that I have heard Al Gore try to take credit for inventing this too ... he, however, does not claim to have invented the 'out-ey' ...).
I hope you have a pleasant and thoughtful Veteran's Day.
