Remember your flippant remarks regarding my analysis of stock option accounting? Well, Charles, it looks like its Andy Bryant, Me, Craig, and Andy Grove, versus you, Warren, and your beloved, Junkie. HMMMmmmm?

I see it of great value if a channel has valuable information. And rubbish attracts rubbish. After putting rubbish under ignore, this thread almost never contains posts any more... but the new thread does. Dybdahl.

<< It's a sorry commentary on those interested in Microsoft that they would try to stifle negative discussion by moving to a moderated thread, where the stated intent of the moderation is to exclude one particular poster who, despite his faults, generally remained on topic. A better course of action would be just to use the "ignore" feature. >> i call it an act of discrimination. provides some insight to how narrowminded and lack of character of some of the people on the other thread. thanks james:) rocky.

It's a sorry commentary on those who would like to stifle intelligent discussion on Microsoft, to engage in flooding the board with scores of poorly-written, incoherent rants, which address no real points, contain no factual content whatsoever, and simply serve to drown out and discourage anyone with an intelligent point to make. Your sanctimonious comment about "stifling" discussion is laughably phony. Who's really the one trying stifle the discussion here? Who's the one trying to fill this board with junk postings, so good discussion, and those interested in making good posts, give up in frustration and leave? Sure, individuals can put him on ignore. As if that would stop him from polluting this board. But not everyone will ignore him, and some will waste time responding to his posts. And how many new posters are going to be attracted to a board if half the postings are crap? And as the intelligent posters leave, the amount of good postings falls, in what could be called a "Yahoo-ization" of this thread. And only the bashers will be left. Then you can have all the negative "discussion" you want, interruption-free.
