mighty: Thanks. This is a great thread, thanks to Maurice. As an old old guy who used to try to convince those (such as Eric L), on real stuff such as what and when would CDMA of whatever flavor be adopted in the world in which we live, I found that we each have a deep set of "stuff" which rightly or wrongly are deep inside our attempts to be "fair". To be "fair" is very much in the eye of the beholder. The perhaps sad reality is that each of us carry much with us which we try hard to jetison, but that is hard. To try to do what is "objective" is hard, if not impossible IMO. Just an old greybeard. Best and respect. Chaz

ML, inhouse fights are traditional here. Look at Ramsey calling me a Sars infection equivalent [like calling nuclear explosions 1 megatonne TNT equivalent]. He comes over here when he wants to fight. I oblige him. Losers and looser's need to be put in their place and they come here for that purpose. Feel free to give Chaz an earful [or eyeful]. You might not realize it, but he was deliberately insulting you with his comments [it's an American cultural subtlety which he was using knowing you are not a native speaker of American - it could even be considered racist]. I don't think you should put up with it. Go on, fight!! Mqurice

Mighty: Clearly Maurice is concerned that by my skepticism about persuading others of different political views may have damped down posting here. I enjoy this thread. So in no way am I suggesting fewer posts. My skepticism about converting others who are dug in with opposite deeply held US democratic/republican or liberal/conservative political views is just based on years of observation. For fun, those who have reversed their views might wish to chime in. What Maurice can not do is bait me to do anything other than repeat my respect for you or Ben or others who have been so helpful re: Qualcomm. He is having fun, which is his way. Perhaps one of his rants is in draft - if so, I await it. No way do I consider politics irrelevant re: Qualcomm. Looking at the world, Europe's preventing the use of CDMA in current spectrum is raw politics mixed with self serving protection of European companies at the expense of the freedom of choice of the European consumers. China has been a fascinating example of how politics matter. But that IMO is different from trashing one another about US domestic politics. Not likely to change minds made up. Again, best and respect. Chaz
