Mr. Fiondella, Let me respond to your questions. Intel has no control over what I say here??? NOPE, ABSOLUTELY NONE. That's news to me. Didn't I see an Intel banner going across the Silicon Investor startup screen for about a week with links to Intel sites? SI WANTED A WAY TO INTRODUCE NEW USERS TO ALL THE FEATURES ON SI. INTEL IS PROBABLY THE MOST ACTIVE THREAD ON SI, AND IS OF INTEREST TO MOST INVESTORS, SO THEY DECIDED TO USE INTEL AS THE EXAMPLE. IN THE PAST THEY HAVE USED OTHER COMPANIES LIKE NETSCAPE AND MICROSOFT AS EXAMPLES IN THEIR "TOUR SI" BANNER. BY THE WAY THAT WAS NOT THE INTEL LOGO OR BANNER YOU SAW, THAT WAS SI'S LINK TO INTEL THREADS, CHARTS, ETC. Intel doesn't buy any advertising space on this site? Silicon Investor just puts those Intel links up there for kicks? NOPE. INTEL DOES NOT BUY ADVERTISING ON SI. YES, SI DID PUT THE INTEL LINKS IN THEIR FOR KICKS AND THE REASONS MENTIONED ABOVE. Correct me if Intel has not bought advertising here. YOU STAND CORRECTED. And as to what I post, I have been getting numerous threats from various people based upon my opinions and not any violation of decency or any other improper speech standards. Its my opinions about Intel that are being threatened with censorship. Censoring people because you don't like their opinions, just what is being proposed by Silicon Investor in my case, doesn't fool anybody. SORRY, BUT SI HAS VERY SPECIFIC RULES OF USE AND THEY ARE APPLIED FAIRLY AND EVENLY. YOU CAN BE CENSORED OR PRIVILEGES REVOKED FOR CERTAIN REASONS, BUT NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE YOUR OPINIONS. SEE THE TERMS OF USE LINK JUST ABOVE THE POSTING WINDOW NEXT TIME YOU POST. THAT SHOULD ANSWER MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
