Hi Web Myst; I got kicked off SI for 2 weeks for posting a joke article that I wrote and linking it to the ABA website. The original article was posted at 9PM on April 16th, but was removed by SI management, who then kicked me off for two weeks. It used to be here: #reply-15670618. I noted that it was bogus less than an hour later, at 9:51PM here: #reply-15670844 Richard Surckla kindly reposted it to the thread (but without my beautiful type setting) here: #reply-15672817 The article was a spoof of an American Bar Association newsletter which was supposedly talking about the legal chances for Rambus. After I posted it, I quickly realized that it was too realistic to be an obvious spoof but after it got a lot of notice from people who didn't seem to clue in that it was fake, I posted a note to that effect. It's quite a laugh, but it exhibited more than the usual amount of prescience for a spoofery. For instance: "While other patent litigation has generated income for lawyers for years, the Rambus case is expected to not dwell for long on patent infringement. Instead, the suits are expected to immediately zero in on the question of what damages Rambus owes for their fraudulent conduct at JEDEC." was spot on. Hmmmmm. Maybe the reason that RMBS has crashed from above $18 back then down to the $8 it's at now is due to my post! (But probably not, LOL!) -- Carl
