albert, Re: "re: I only asked you to back up your claims. If that offends you, then I believe our conversation is over. if the request for backing up is unreasonable then it is an honesty that is at question. You asked me to produce a criticism of Jerry, while I criticize him all the time, I do not keep a database of when and where."
Your honesty was never in question. I merely asked for proof. However, it seems that you find it hard to differentiate between criticizing Jerry Sanders and questioning his claims. I asked you to provide links where you have questioned Jerry's claims, since I don't remember you ever doing this. I did not question whether you had criticized Jerry Sanders before, because you probably have. He is far from the best CEO for AMD.
Re: "If barrett (intel management) made a claim during quarterly reporting a half or more years ago which was not accurate it is very unreasonable to ask for the proof of that either."
JC keeps good records of all the Intel and AMD conference calls (and there are probably other places to research, too), and I don't recall Craig Barrett even being a part of any in the recent past. If you are talking on the order of several years ago, then I'm not sure whether you claims apply, since AMD was not gaining too much in market share prior to Y2K.
Re: "re: then I believe our conversation is over. whatever"
I don't see why you are having so much of a hard time when I ask for proof. First you say I am sarcastic, then I am insulting your honesty, and now it's just "whatever", as if you don't really care. When you make certain claims and people ask for proof, I would recommend that you find the proof. This would be good career advice for you, too, since as an investment analyst, I'm sure that your clients or boss or whomever are going to require proof more often than I would.
