I fail to see how my usage of elementary logic implies that I'm an
"expert", Robert.

Yeah, well you also think that we'd all be better-off if not for AMD.

Oh, is that what you were "pointing out", Robert?  It seems to me that
you agree strongly with statements like "Mostly it is the bankers who
win from these deals." 

>Whether it's accurate criticism of this deal or not is beside the point. 


Beside the point of your trolling, you mean?  I mean, what else can
you call stuff like "Takes off cowboy hat and waves it.  Wahoo!  Ride
'em cowboys."?

Would you like to guess, Robert, which brand of CPU that I've been
using in my PC's the last 15 years or so?
