***OT*** Bux, our venerable friend, marginmike asked Clone3 what his angle was etc. No3 refused to answer, saying he wished to educate the masses. I'm always offended about references to 'masses' as it suggests an attitude which I dislike. Sure it can be innocent enough but it was the patronising 'educating the masses' approach. Dave has been on SI since Oct 1995, which means he even beat me and Ramsey to here [and a few others]. So he knows he is not dealing with bumbling masses here. When he reads the posts he should be aware of that. So we can dismiss that as a lie, self-delusion or silly comment.
Marginmike's question sought the benefits to Clone3 of being here, not a comment that he was educating the masses.
Here's Clone3's personal detail:

He purports to be interested in Q.com yet doesn't know Irwin Jacobs or how to spell Motorola [marginmike gets off due to dyxlexia] but Clone3 can spel well enough to be familiar with Motorola. Therefore he is not interested in QUALCOMM. He is not constructing a balanced case, he is saying always why QUALCOMM will lose. Which is fine by me as critique by competitors keeps one awake to weaknesses. Tero in typical self-sacrificing Finnish fashion provides a similar service.
I'd say he is a young electronics graduate, rejected by L M Ericsson he said because his price was too high. He is doing law because he sees $10s of millions there. Not so hot money in electronics. Presumably QUALCOMM didn't want him either as who would turn down the opportunity. So I'd say he sees this as practising his hoped for craft. And he likes arguing.
I doubt he has many shares, but if he has some, they'll be in Ericy, maybe Lucent, Cisco and Nokia. But not The Q.
He wants Q to not do too well in the patent business. I'd say he has a socialist inclination - let's give away Q's property for 1% to the seething masses as a gesture of goodwill.
How's that for remote psychological analysis? Always fun! What say you number3? Accurate enough? And I'm not a patent attorney OR psychologist but know what cognitive dissonance means when I swing a golf club.
Go Green$pan!! Hit some more home runs right over the end zone!
