<<Irritated becuase I disagree with your point of view>> No. I was implying that you were irritating to 3Com, but that their response was a gross overreaction. Re the survey, I don't care one way or the other. I was interested in soliciting further information on it. I have to say that the company has done a far better job of making themselves look ridiculous than you have. (Read that either way you want). Keep us posted on the action. Kind Regards nig

After reading many of your posts on the FIBR thread re: Osicom....All I can say dude is that your loud untrained mouth has put you in deep legal excrement. You'll need more than luck, so I won't wish you any. Joel

Crawford, Sounds like the law suit is getting to you. I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds like the most they might do is throw you off SI. I know some people here might enjoy that but I hope you stick around. I think sometimes you've got some intelligent things to say, and we need some more shorts on this thread to hear their analysis. Back to your responce. If you can't believe anything about any article, then how do you get your position as a short? Hopefully, you've gone to college. The main thing you're suppose to learn in college is the method of 'critical thinking'. That means that when you read an article on 56K or KFlex, you have a doubting attitude. Most of these articles have some truth and some errors. After reading lots, and lots of them, you gain enough insight to discriminate between some of the BS and some of the truth. The more you learn, the more you can see who has a better argument. If you read the BOARDWALK article (which I don't think you've even read), you will see that the writer goes out of his way to be unbiased. He also does a fairly methodical comparison between the 2 modem types. He was amazed by the results showing 56K better. He thought he had done something wrong in his testing technique and gave both companies, Rockwell & 3Com plenty of time to respond. Well, read the article, and you'll see who reacted like they had something to hide and who was totally forthcoming. As good as the reasoning is in the article, you don't have to take it's word. Try reading about a dozen more. It's the same with politics, you get your basic theory and understanding from school. Then you read, read, read some more, then cross check, cross check,..... think some more, and after a while you can see where the truth lies. No guarantees, but closer to it. I don't think mankind has any better way to do it. Joe
