Mucho - (I can't believe we are wasting so much time and energy discussing this, but ... ) This guy actually joined SI over 3 years ago. I can't help but wonder if he was carefully "biding his time," waiting for just the right moment to post his sporadic comments, hoping for the maximum infliction of pain for QCOM shareholders. Jon.
