(note: Comment on past thread, not necessarily anything to do with your message) To wade into this for no apparent reason, Ken was the initial target of abuse. Ken should have likely made his first post a little less absolute than "Diamond has found overheating problem" (rather, say "Diamond CLAIMS overheating problem), but in his reponse to being attacked he clarified his position in the following manner: 1) He has posted 3DFX's response. 2) He has no advertising revenue, thus no desire for more "hits". 3) He is not a Diamond flunkie, since he has ordered a Creative board. I found nothing in Ken's response to warant being called an "asshole" several times. He should have worded his initial message more carefully instead of taking Diamond's announcement as fact, but skewer him for that. The way some went off on his perfectly calm and logical response just makes themselves look bad. And yes, I find Diamond's tactics absoutely abhorrent.
