Very sad indeed, for someone new on the block to post like you. NO need to respond.

The rumor around is that you are an analyst. Let's see your analytical abilities. I previously challenged you, and have not received a reply, so here once again is the challenge: Techie, you are still avoiding the question. Show me precisely how CPQ's gross margin decreased by around 10% [ if not due to sub-zeros]. If what you said is true, how is it that Dell's gross margin increased, and it was attributed to moving into higher-end gear. So explain to me please how this is possible. A word of advice: insulting people is not the way to win people's hearts and minds. TTFN, CTC

Techie: Is it true that you are Lucretius Taurus in drag? Or are you Lucretius' brother, Ford Taurus? Today, you have really topped yourself...I simply can not believe how banal your posts have become. In any event, quit feigning indignation everytime someone hammers you on the thread.....Your posts have ALWAYS contained a much higher % of insults vs. facts than the combined bull posts....continued noteworthy is the fact that several bull posters continue to treat you with a certain amount of respect ..Why, I dont know.....You refuse to do so in kind...Your act is getting kind of thin......I'm sure the thread would agree to a truce if you would, and we would all be back you square one... Occasionally, you raise a decent point, but your logic and facts are way too often askew......As for wondering why we dont take you at your word (about having been on a private analyst meeting with MD) while we believe Islander when he says (he was relaying the conference call with MD today)...It's very simple....You have little or no credibility on the thread...Your agenda is pretty clear....You fail to acknowledge even the simplest of truths about what is being debated here.....You just showed up a little more than a week ago (UNLESS, THAT IS, YOU ARE OL' LUKE, gg), and you want us to believe you after you post your drivel...give me a break....We have seen your tactics before (come and go on this thread) You are either (1) an ill-informed bear (trying to learn about Dell, but unable to ask questions politely) (2) Someone who has a lot of time on his hands, and (for some reason) enjoyes being beaten up on a daily basis or (3) short the stock (or some equivelent) and want to scare a few people into selling (while also doing so on the Yahoo Thread (codename: Widget) and AOL (codename: Motherboard).....maybe all of the above.... You will be gone soon, probably in a couple of weeks...Hint: Sunbeam is looking pretty ripe... All will be forgiven, of course, if you join our cult <<gg>> I have seen bears treated with respect and courtesy on the thread when they are (1) willing to be polite (2) willing to do their homework, (and not try to S*#@ against the wall tactic) (3) willing to LISTEN......Actually, forget (2)...many of the folks on this thread are so nice THEY WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR HOMEWORK AND ASK NOTHING IN RETURN...You have a fair forum here if you are willing to play fair in return... I certainly don't expect that this post will change your acerbic ways, but it would nice if it did! Breathlessly awaiting your response (on second thought, I may go to asleep instead). P.S. It is amazing how you so rapidly answer the most trivial of questions if you (indeed) are trading as much as you say.....
