Looks like you touched a nerve, Schmandel!

To call anyone an "inferior person" strikes me as plain rude though.

Mquarice is the worst kind of troll but he is also the very nicest kind of troll. One that you would be happy to let your daughter go out with!

Beware. Mquarice tends to put out an untenable position in the hope of getting ordinary folk mad. He definitely seems to have managed to stick a worm in your ear.

Go back to being a mindless zombie and leave him alone to drive down the freeway with a chiclet stuck to his ear!

David

Schmandel, you get your very own Mindless Zombie award for refusal to think and consider evidence. You are one lucky guy considering the many near misses you have when driving. You hereby get the Gladstone Gander Lucky Driver for Most Near Misses Award.

I wonder why I don't have so many near misses. We have high numbers of cellphone users and they use them in their cars. We also have many Chinese drivers [expats from China - their driving skills are a joke] so to avoid crashes here takes more than luck.

My favourite company is QUALCOMM. I recommend you short it heavily because it is likely to fall down again, possibly into the teens or even lower.

I'm happy with hands-free cellphones. Holding one is a pain. Looking at the little buttons to dial while driving is tricky too. But you fail to understand the key point, which is that it's the mind not being on the job. Holding the gearlever or a cellphone doesn't cause a problem. People drive with their minds.
