Hey, folks, I know we are enduring a difficult stretch here, and sometimes it's not easy to focus on the story instead of the price. However, earlier today someone posted a statement I copied in my own post to which this responds, that makes no sense to me, from a business perspective, from a corporate legal perspective or, particularly in the current scenario in which SEG has been disposing of its position in SNDK in respect of the VRTS restructuring, from any affiliate relationship. Could someone please disabuse me of the notion that that statement was nonsense, if indeed it was not? Does it stem from a period in which SNDK had not yet formed its own distribution and sales channels? If so, and if the SEG right to distribute exists, could SanDisk possibly have given away its control over price points, new customer channels, discounts and the like, in short, SNDK's ability to influence and shape its market? Makes no sense to me. tia, Steve
