<Afterall, who would be insulted when people attack your integrity and call you a liar, cheater, or sellout Especially in the face of no evidence. Then when those same people are presented with overwhelming evidence that they were wrong, they don't apologize, but instead think that they changed his opinion with their personal attacks.> Doug, Yup, I guess if Anand posts a favorable review to the PIV then he is a Intel propagandist and sellout but if he posts a negative review then he is still an Intel propagandist and sellout but he just aborted his plans to post Intels propaganda verbatim due to the immense weight of the righteous pressure that the defenders of the faith put on him. Either way he is guilty...whatever! Epinephrine PS: I do appreciate the factual emails that were sent out to reviewers and columnists by posters on this thread but the lynching of Anand with no evidence and subsequent claims that he would've posted a different review if it wasn't for bias allegations and flaming of his BBS is a bit over the top if you ask me.

Jeez, Doug, I thought this was a politics free zone;-P). I'm a bit curious as to why Anand backed off on spec, after the big effort with the DDR review. It might have just been too much work for a fairly esoteric number. I'd guess there'd also be some difficulty duplicating Intel's numbers, since they typically publish their own spec numbers months before the compiler version they use ships. Personally, I like Anand. I was a little worried when he did this Rambus puff piece a while back when the Rambus PR flacks were apparently making the rounds, but he came back with his own numbers a few days later that were consistent with what most non-shareholders expected. Nobody's perfect, but he does a good job and seems to be fairly immune to flames. Pretty impressive for somebody still in high school. Cheers, Dan.
