John, Re: I not a fan of moderated threads, they seem to go against the spirit of the Internet. So that was my first, this will probably be my last. What's the difference if SI "moderates" the thread or the writers on the thread? Some kind of moderation is necessary (or SI would become just another Yahoo board) but I prefer the latter because the writers have usually more insight. Nobody is kicked off the thread because he is pro-Intel or doesn't like AMD. It takes a 2/3 majority vote call for anyone to get suspended here. So I don't see your problem. I really would like you to continuing posting here. I think it's very healthy to have another perspective from someone who has a big Intel holding and I liked (most) of your posts on the unmoderated thread. Additional opinions are welcomed here and you made some very good points about Intel and AMD in the past. IMO it would be a loss for the thread if you stopped posting here at all. Andreas
