Agreed, Linda, and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who thought I would deliberately spread a rumor... here was my comment that drew the waspish comment from lifeisgood:
From the Board's point of view however, your point must be well
taken -- how could a price of 17 be adequate, if a price of 28 dollars was not adequate last year? We could use a little news.

Ram had made a reference to a long-standing price of $28, alleged to have been offered by LSI for VLSI last year.
My comment was only about Ram's POINT...not that the theoretical price of $28 was true or false.
I've read your comments many times on this thread and others,Linda, and I respect your opinion. But please read again what I actually wrote, and read the unnecessarily peevish blast I got back.
Unwarranted on an SI Thread, imho...

Linda,

A VLSI board director, in some news recently, has said that LSI did make or inquire about making an offer last year. Thats factual enough for me. My memory tells me VLSI was about 19 then and LSI at about 24. Maybe rather than 28, we could all agree that it is reasonably possible/probable that VLSI could have gotten mid 20's then if they wished.
