Simmer down. Think of a nice cool scotch on the roc... scotch on ice. Tomorrow is another day in this meat grinder. Be glad you're not in the bond market like me. Talk about bleeding to death. Yikes !

A suggestion Linda, If you just can't help yourself when you get your dander up, then please don't respond with any discussion of substance whatsoever. Just respond with the recommendation that people not read his postings, full stop. This is the only thing that will eventually bring an end to this incessant irritation. Think of the analogy to having poison ivy. Yes, you can scratch the spot right away because the itching bothers you, but if you do, you greatly increase the risk of spreading it around and extending the time that you have to deal with the poison ivy. If you RESIST the itching and try your best to ignore it, that hastens the moment when you're free of it. Please? And by all means, don't YOU read his postings. I certainly don't. They're utterly predictable, so why read them? Here's a permanent precis for you: IOM management is incompetent and dishonest; Clik! is vapor, will be too expensive relative to the rapidly-falling prices of flash memory, and can't stand shock; Zip margins are vanishing; Zip full of bugs and all units are headed to Click of Death; audio and video professionals hate IOM products; OEMs are dropping IOM products; all potential competition is credible and extremely threatening; Malaysian plant is plagued with problems; Utah is due for a catastrophic earthquake. (Only kidding about the last one, of course.) There, you no longer have to read his posts. Neither does anyone else. Thank you. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
