Jim / John - I know it's a fruitless venture but sometimes
I see glaring inconsistencies and just can't help myself.
Besides, steve needs to mellow out a little. He routinely
launches personal attacks (far more than anyone else on
this thread) then he'll say something hipocritical like "soon
as I trap someone, they start to make it personal". Almost
every response to this thread contains some deragatory jab..
it's quite childish.
As well, the incessant bragging about buying more machines,
owning more stock, buying/selling more options, being the
first, the best at this and that and on and on. Well,
you know it get's tiresome and can't all be true which
damages credibility.
The credibility issue is also a shame because steve obviously
understands specific areas of the business like supply chain
management. Problem is, being negatively biased towards Dell,
it's impossible to tell truth from exaggeration or pure
fabrication.
One of the strength's of SI lies is it's ability to bring together
a multitude of experts and professionals to collectively elevate the investing IQ of thread participants. Spirited debate is good,
mud slinging bad, everyone does'nt have to agree but it's nice
to be civil about it.
Make no mistake, Dell is an outstanding company but it's not
perfect. I don't mind learning about areas in which Dell
"may" be weak and the possible improvement strategies.
steve tries to point some of this out in his posts but
unfortunately, the message is lost amidst an onslaught of
chest-pounding and exaggeration.
Of course, if you guys want to witness the full gamunt of
real ugly mud-slinging and name calling interspersed with
some of the most educated and highly technical posts, I
urge you to visit the Intel thread, you'll learn alot and
it's highly pertinent to Dell.
