Perhaps some are not comfortable sharing their view with others about this sensitive topic or worse, have been getting "hate" messages if their view is not conventional. Mani, I hope that's not true. There was enough hate last week to last for a very long time. ted

I respectfully disagree. The signal to noise message of this moderated AMD board has gone to zero, on the morning before a momentous stock market reopening. Here I'd like to read about things directly pertinent to my investments in AMD. Should we start a new moderated AMD thread so we can actually discuss AMD somewhere without being drowned out by religious, political, military and social discussions? Or can we agree to take the off-topic material to another thread? Thanks, David Pletcher

Well, my vote goes towards going back to discussing AMD. My reasoning is based on the fact that there is not going to be any kind of closure on the tragic matter; there won't be some key point at which we can all collectively feel good about going back to our routines. This forum has served as good source of info and discussion on AMD, lets get one more thing back to normal, and thus show the figurative finger to the terrorists in one more small way. On that note, just chatted with a friend that works for a major wireless carrier. He says that the whole 3G thing is getting pushed back big time - he says the cost structure is such (due to unusually high amounts paid for spectrum) that the only way anyone can even think of making money is by building a shared network (ie, kinda like VPN over the public Internet). And this would mean that the infrastructure vendors are having to go back and redesign infrastructure components, thus delaying 3G. In an indirect way, this impacts AMD's flash business - no 3G means greatly reduced demand for new phones (few new features), so flash unlikely to recover. Milan Milan

Please, please, start moderating again. There are plenty of other better sources for information on the terrorism. Much of the discussion on this thread has degenerated into petty sniping anyway. The decision is ultimately up to the thread Fine - put in place the process for us to make that decision. My vote is to restore normal service asap.
