>>Rod, let's be serious. What you posted could not be described as a matter-of-fact concern. You stated that the Zip drive was "the least reliable product ever" and that the question wasn't open to debate. That is far from being matter of fact.
Overly emphatic? Perhaps, but then so were the replies.<<
Rod -
Overly emphatic is an extremely kind way of putting it. And I wonder why you think that you are allowed to be "overly emphatic" but no one else is?
But perhaps the hostility you have generated on this thread is more related to this recent post:

Well, the ultra-high volume of IOM stock still makes it attractive to traders and you are going to continue to see these delusional, irrational and naive people posting fabrications, fantasy and fluff until the company itself starts trading at normal volume and a price commensurate with declining sales: about 5 dollars. Look, the Zip product is a highly unreliable but useful product for temporary information transfers; as a storage device it's utterly useless. I know that, you know that, the market knows that, the analysts know that, the sane among us know that. Why do people waste their time with this stock? I don't know, why do people invest in pyramid schemes?

See, Rod, when you call people "delusional, irrational and naive" because they disagree with you in their assessment of a situation, you are likely to piss them off.
I have just exercised a tremendous amount of self restraint by deleting an additional paragraph on this topic. I think we've wasted too much of the thread's time already.
