masa,

The reason you caught flak on the other thread is because you appear to be yet another person with knowledge in the field but not laying all of your cards on the table.

We have seen this before.

You need to explain yourself a tad more. These threads are made up of investors, but also a lot of telecommunications geeks. You really can't get away with too much without a debate. Plus, what are your motivations? As an investment?

The "other board" has had experience with someone coming on the thread and making statements against qualcomm/cdma. There has been a few "qualcomm bashers" that had some alternative motives. For instance one was being paid by a European company as a consultant.

Others? Well, some we never knew their motives, but I really didn't get the impression that it was an investment motive . Most of them were quite knowledgeable in the telecommunications field, but they ended up being wrong about qualcomm. Well, they are all gone now.....or maybe not!!!

This has been happening here for many years on SI, but I saw it happening a lot earlier on other message board services too. Actually back in the early 90's qualcomm was a very heated topic, even before the World Wide Web.

You have to realize that some of the people here on the qualcomm boards are rather smart folks. Some work in the field, some even at qualcomm at one time, and a few folks with a grasp of the technology.

It's ok to be against qualcomm, but you need to state your reasons why.

Talk with Maurice here, he has an understanding of all this and can definitely say it better than I can.

Go Q!
John
