Don, But, what newspaper, magazine, newsletter, t.v. news program, investor, trader, etc isn't bias / or doesn't have an agenda. Granted, but most serious publications try to at least include both sides of a story, or present news in a reasonably matter-of-fact manner. Do you think you can say that about The Register? I don't read Forbes, but from the clippings on the board it appears that they're generally not positive about Rambus (maybe they're neutral and the posts are getting filtered, but my impression is that they're slightly negative). But do they have derogatory names for Rambus or Intel like The Register does? I personally pay more attention when someone or some organization which has been extremely bias one way or the other changes direction. I wouldn't worry about The Register. Even in the price reduction article they found a way to present it negatively. That is why I was so curious about Unclewest's reasoning for dumping Rambus last year considering how much and long he hype it, I've talked to him about it and my impression is that there were simply too many other fish to fry that didn't have the controversy. He says he'll be back in when the guarantee of success is a little clearer, even knowing that he'll probably miss some of the initial run-up. Incidentally, I did the same thing when the delay was announced. I decided to diversify and play some of the stocks with "brighter" short term prospects. I've been doing it since early November and have been in for at least part of the run-ups and out during most of the declines. The difference between unclewest and me is that I have nothing of value to contribute to the other threads (and no doubt some would claim my contributions here are valueless <G>). I'm pretty sure that right up until the delay, he thought he was a LTB&H, too. WE all have an agenda. I can't argue with that. Dave
