Joe, >For the record, I myself am not 100% if Intel is sponsoring some of the posters or 100% sure that Intel is not sponsoring them. I go back and forth, and since I myself am not sure, I am sure not going to denounce him for saying what he did. I'm not sure what the best descriptive is for thinking Intel, or any company is sponsoring anyone on this or any other thread. The word that immediately comes to mind, though, is childish. The next one is stupid, for how the company would be perceived, and described in the press, if it was ever proven. Tony

Joe, Well, I don't know what BMW has said, but from some of the responses, it seems that I have stirred something up. For the record, I do not think that bmw is any kind of bad person -- whether or not he is a paid fudster. For the most part, his posts (when I was viewing them) were polite and informative. However, I do believe that his posting patterns indicate a clear agenda, and as you point out, I have the right to that opinion. I just call it like I see it. On rare occasion I am rude, but usually offer an apology. Everyone knows that I am an AMD fan and dislike Intel, but I still call it like I see it and will post negative thoughts about AMD when I have them. My posts yesterday about my 0.13u leakage concerns and potential problems if the HP/CPQ merger go through, for example. Here is another thought: In general, would a paid fudster admit it, if asked to do so? I'm sure they are out there. Is bmw one of them? Who knows. Who really cares? Whatever, he is entitled to post on these threads just as much as anyone else is. People can read all of his posts, or they can ignore them. It's just personal choice. Pravin
