POST ABOUT BILOW AND PLUVIA ON YAHOO... rsurckla: Pluvia & BILOW by: h0db (40/M/Tysons Corner, VA) 6/8/00 6:54 pm Msg: 103900 of 104228 Interesting how Pluvia showed up on the SI thread to defend BILOW, just as you and others were dropping the pretense of humor and calling Bilow a paid basher to his face, using his own statements and Unclewest's findings.
It is common for paid bashers to work as a team. I notice that Ali Chen showed up today after a long absence. It could also be one person using multiple identities.
You have to wonder who would be paying Bilow/Pluvia. This is not a typical P&D or shorting scheme--they are not, as far as is evident, spamming dozens of message boards. I've detected no similar content here on Yahoo or on the Raging bull board for example. Indeed, I think that Bilow/Pluvia and his masters really intend to affect the stock price. I think their goal is to undercut basic acceptance within the industry, and to exploit any doubts they can.
There are potentially billions of dollars at stake here. Intel is effectively betting the company, or at least it's dominance of the PC space, on RDRAM. It's actions over the past month--abandoning the MTH and moving to ship RDRAM RIMMs directly with motherboards--tie it more strongly than ever before to Rambus. I think that Bilow/Pluvia's actions on the SI thread are intended to shape attitudes and mindshare in the design community of Silicon Valley, not the masses. He has been relentless on the SI thread, always harping on the theme "I know of no engineers working on RDRAM designs", even while Intel, DEC/Compaq, Sun, Sony, and Panasonic have done exactly that. |
