I've read hundreds if not thousands of messages by you. FWIW, I've read every single message you've posted on IHUB AMD and SI AMD ever (assuming you don't have more than one account and excepting any deleted messages) Sorry, I don't mean to offend but, Insert: I really don't mean to, feel free to skip this message if you can't see past the me vs you aspect. I'm not looking to provoke you into putting me on ignore and I'm not trying to show you up. This is just feedback, constructive criticism if you will... If I knew this board supported it I'd use [spoiler][/spoiler] or equivalent to hide this next part . . . . . ... you suffer from the same affliction WBMW and many others on these boards have. You get so caught up in a single point of view and us vs. them that you make overly committal statements. If I take each of them and parse them literally they conflict with each other and I can't get an accurate read on the whole. You are happy about sales, you are despondent about sales, you like a new design, you are distraught that a certain price point or design target isn't met. It reads like you are manic depressive. I'm not accusing you of bias as you seem to make positive statements and negative statements with regularity and spread them around as appropriate. I'm just saying you don't seem able to put the balance in any single message. No overview, your posts are all trees, no forest. It is possible to say both negative and positive things in the same message. It is possible to do both comparison and contrast in the same message. Maybe English isn't your first language, maybe the written word isn't your best forum, maybe I think too much. Maybe I'm asking too much, all I know is that when I ask you to clarify something or put it in context I get replies that are no help or are combative.
