<< Ken, stop your arrogant lying. No one said COD isn't real. The issue is how frequent it is. I believe it is less than 1%. 1% of 20M drives is 200,000. A large number to be sure. But a small percentage. That is what we are saying. Again, stop with your deliberate lies. >>

That is a bunch of BS. The bulls have always downplayed COD, and have discounted it as bearish ravings. Allen, in several posts some time ago, claimed this is part of the 'normal failure rate'. Many others have said this. The fact is, 'normal' failures are due to the random failures of parts, and therefore have widely varying symptoms. COD, however, is a design 'flaw', based on it's nature. It is a specific failure mode.

This is why it is a big deal. It's difficult to imagine someone putting mission critical data on these things if the possiblity is out there. Also, if you believe some of the reports, it is a like a 'time bomb'. i.e. a wearout mechanism. (lub drying up). This should be very disconcerning.

<< Your already low credibility continues to deteriorate. >>

Explain to me why my credibility is low. Is it because I am one of the few willing to look at the truth? Because I don't agree with you? I bet you give high credibility to people who love this stock!

Explain to me where I've been wrong, then compare that with the bullish stance all along. Who has the credibility problem? I've been dead right on this stock for the last 2 years.
