This post I'm making now, along with the one I replied to are examples as to why this thread is almost pure noise. People spend more time flaming each other than posting anything, and maybe JC has only been here a week, but the work he's done on his website and bringing information about AMD to the public is probably 2x more than anyone on this thread has ever done, and I think it says a lot about your character that you hadn't figured that out by yourself. If this thread is so bad, why bother to lurk? Do you get off being disgusted? Besides your post is just adding to the noise.

Aargh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean this to become a "bash tejek" thing. :( I have been reading this thread since a nice guy named David showed it to me around the middle of 1998. It kicks ass. And tejek has worked hard to contribute to the health of the thread. I just accidentally pulled myself into a debate relating to how the ModAMD thread increases the freedom of the posters, and then I managed to inadvertently insult several people that I like ... given that these are my first few posts to SI, you'd think that I'd have some more tact, eh? <g> (but thanks for backing me up, doug, I think that's sweet)

I suggest you and jc and all the others who are so easily offended visit this thread. I think it may help all of you. Subject 6944 This is a place for people who have been talking about tech stocks all day to unwind and discuss whatever, including the neurotic/psychotic motivations behind discussing tech stocks all day, and the pain they hold inside. You can be yourself here. You don't even have to mention the stock of the hour. When you are feeling vulnerable or sad, or you've been up for two days and are having trouble holding it all together, drop by and consider this a safe place to let it all hang out, and rest assured no one will flame you--that some kind and compassionate soul will understand and commiserate, or at least listen without laughing out loud. Feel free to reveal the gentle, vulnerable parts of yourselves here, or just write and write without someone who's following a hundred stocks and is in a hurry to read every thread tell you to keep it short and on subject!
