perhaps he has a strong interest in the industry and believes what he posts.. without motive.

ARS , Re: QCOM / CDMA FUDster attacks and- “ I've always wondered what the object of all that is. Obviously a great deal of time, effort and SKILL is going into these posts, and I just don't see the payoff to the poster.” Over the many years, a lot of us have wondered as well how (& why) this QCOM FUDster supreme manages to do this while also “working (?? / full-time?) in “Tech Sales Management & Business Development” . 1) – “Obviously a great deal of time, effort and SKILL is going into these posts” SI IH TMF Tot Posts 14,739 1,347 2,277 18,363 Bds Moderated 9 2 ? 11 It should also be noted that- + this Fudster is the 4th highest in number of posts on SI QCOM Mod. + his posts are normally voluminous, and if measured by word count could no doubt challenge the encyclopedia Britannica. + The time required to compose those posts must also be supported by a vast amount of time (support staff??) to compile and archive the data. In breaking down those posts, it works out to an average of about six per day (365 days/ year) for the eight years he’s been at it. Granted, not all of those post are on QCOM, but a great many are and they represent “ a great deal of time, effort and SKILL” for- + someone with a full time job in “Tech Sales Management & Business Development” , and + someone with a passionate bias against QCOM management, yet + Amazingly, often claims QCOM is one of his major investments although one wonders how that could possibly be with his all too often disparaging comments about QCOM management and CDMA while he passionately / unequivocally supports QCOM’s fierce competition (NOK / GSMA). 2) “and I just don't see the payoff to the poster.” Until being convinced otherwise, IMO the facts support Engineer’s contention- “being the paid shill of Nokia that he is” (or the GSMA). BTW, I’ve been retired since I began posting on SI in 1999 ( and following QCOM is close to a full-time job for me) yet as busy as I am, I don’t come close to the numbers put up by the Fudster supreme- Looking at these stats, FUDS is either one truly amazing individual doing all of this posting (+ plus the back office support) on his “spare time and for the fun of it ”, or it is somehow related to “Tech Sales Management & Business Development” including a gang of back off support staff. ......
