Hi Dave B; You keep harping on how you made money in RMBS. You and every other idiot in the country. The fact is that if you hadn't been stupid, RMBS never would have gotten to the price it did. It was your ignorance that allowed you to make money on it. Proud of it? Sure why not, LOL!!! Showing up at the casino, betting on 00 and making money doesn't make you a gambling genius. What you were was lucky, that's all. How many times you gonna repeat? The next tech explosion should come around in, what, about 20 years? In actual fact, far more money has been lost on Rambus than made, except by the insiders. And now the insiders have been sued. No thanks, I'll stay away from the pump stocks. -- Carl

Dave B. You don't understand Carl's motivation. If Rambus had been successful, the technology industry would have had to deal with royalty friction from other companies that would follow Rambus' lead. Submit a huge patent, then use continuation to patent other's ideas. Then extort royalties, on their ideas. And in particular, Rambus came into Carl's field and ignored all the prior developments and treated all the manufacturers as idiots. It is OK to have angry customers if one is truly a gorilla, but not if one is a gorilla by proxy. See, we don't care to make money on Rambus, it is just that Rambus success means failure for any company actually making something.
