To Thread - This thread is 90% nonsense! Am I the only one who gets tired of listening to the constant mindless debate about whether or not intc is satan himself and whether or not amd will ultimately displace intc in the chip world? Am I the only one who is sick and tired of reading posts 70% of which are technobabble (ie. what this chip can do and can't do and how the k-7 is better than piii, etc. etc.)? This thread contains very little meaningful info that will help determine future price of intc shares. Isn't there anyone out there that has concrete, substantiated info regarding sales, product mix, asp, capacity utilization, what their brokers are saying etc.? Isn't there anyone out there that works at or deals with intc that has some meaningful info? Believe it or not there are intc investors out here that don't care about the numerous private battles on this thread which amount to little more than a version of "my chip can beat up your chip". It really is sad how little worthwhile info. is disseminated on this thread. Opinion is not fact or worthwhile info. that can be used to make investment decisions.

RE: "There are enough Intel shareholders to taunt the people with negative views on Intel." Mohan, I like to hear negative/counter views. It helps create a good, healthy counter balance and fosters analytical thinking/decisions. I agree it would not be acceptable for Intel management to personally criticize analysts in any official capacity, but saying, "no comment," inhibits the flow of useful information, which could be valuable to an investor. The issue could be how to convey information. Too friendly of an exchange could prevent a healthy debate. While friendly exchanges are initially very important to help foster a positive/trusting environment which flourishes creative interactive thinking, strong comments/questions help iron out issues, after the creative/brainstorming/info gathering phase is over. It helps investors when management questions the contents of an analyst's report, along with pointing out connections, dependencies, or timing of events, because this helps bring more information to the entire picture. I find this helpful, and I understand your point. Regards, Amy J
