Jeff, Re: "As you should note this was addressed to the thread ..." Then perhaps it would have been "wiser" on your part to send your message to the thread "originator". Because in fact, you did send it to an individual. Hope this helps. TIA and KMA Make It So, Yousef

[not spell checked] Jeff: The problem is, of course, that the only people who have complained ON THE THREAD fall into the category of what one might loosely refer to as "Intel Bashers". One can only assume that some of these same people clandestinely tried to involve you in their on going "Jihad" against Intel. Assuming for a moment that Intel has successfully strugled for the last twenty years to become the world's preeminent chip maker, it might be argued that a poster who is in denial of this fact would seem to lack a certain logical ability. This same lack of ability to reason, would perforce lead someone to be a "racist". In so doing, they would be able to direct their internal non-specific anxiety to a channel which they could then convince themselves that that is the cause of their problem. This same lack of ability to reason, might very well be the reason why one would invest in a "loser company". But since the ego would preclude this person from blaming themselves, it must naturally be caused by the vicious stupid nasty Intel. We get that on this thread all the time. That is not to say that the thread, as the company itself, does not value criticism, either logical or inscisive. But, we are allowed, in the determination of who we will believe and who we will attempt to understand, to project or to deduce or to extrapolate from ALL the statements of a person. It is a common tennent in the law that if one has be found to have spoken one untruth, then the jury may be allowed to disregard all the statements from that person. They may not want to ofcourse, but that is their decision. It is a sort of Carlos Castenada kind of thing. One can discern the truth from lies, Truth be known, most of us on this thread may not understand every nuance of a technological theory or a process. That is why we are all here, and that is why brilliant and incisive and knowlegable and truthful posts are relished on this thread, and yes sometimes we have to plow through a whole pile of manure to find the pony...but it's our shovel. It is the process we go to seek our information. We may not understand the technology but we all understand the stupidity of racism. And we are allowed to judge for ourselves whether someone so lacking in reason should be believed on other matters that we may not comprehend as much. And those who point out that racist stupidy to us are extremely useful in the formation of our own conclusions as to technical matters. Nor do we have time for polite soliloquy on such important matters. Many times, vituperative epithets or swear words get right to the point. They certainly focus everyone's attention on the issue.
