WHY, WHY, WHY? does anyone respond to Rocky and several others who so plainly have the goal of posting only negative things about Iomega....whether they are true or not. When you read their posts, or respond, you help them accomplish their goal. Of course, I realize that they also create some of the "responses" to their own posts. For me, they have practically ruined several stock boards. Please realize that when you respond to them, you help they accomplish their (possibly paid)agenda.

He is violating rule 15. 15. If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there.

You people are unreal! After starting a thread with its silly name, you then make a concerted effort to make yourselves look even sillier. In the last 200 posts (from #2649, 8:46 Mon), there have been: 19 posts by Rocky 27 posts by people accusing/speculating whether or not Rocky is paid to post 21 responses to Rocky's posts (except those noted directly above) - Note, some of these have actually discussed Iomega, but by far not all. This represents 33.5% of all of the posts since #2648! and doesn't include responses-to-responses/back-patting, other derivative posts. I guess it's good that I didn't go back far enough to tally those which jumped on people for responding to Rocky, which a few days ago were also a significant fraction of the posts. That's why for the most part I have stopped reading the Iomega threads, but I had to find out for my own edification just how silly this thing had become. I really find it incredible that many of you are so obsessed with this person and his "professional/amateur" posting. Get a life. Cameron "Indifference is the only sure defense."
