apoppin, I think one of the major problems people are having with tone of your posts is that you get so overemotional. If you could tone it down a notch or three and try expressing yourself with a little less "color", it might ease things a bit for those people who wince whenever they see your avatar in a thread.
And the sheer number of your posts is a bit disturbing as well. I don't know how you manage to create so many posts a day on dialup. Take this thread as an example. On the first page alone, 30 out of the 100 posts were made by you. And as of right now, you've created 49 out of the 145 posts in this entire thread. That's over 1/3! To me, that's going beyond enthusiast and into the realm of obsession.
Instead of trying to drown the entire Video forum with your posts maybe it would be better if you were to slow down, read through your comments before posting them to see if it really requires a separate post and try to refrain from getting so agitated/excited all the time. A little dispassion would go a LONG way.

I should become CEO. I promise HD2900XT Crossfire for everyone in video that supports my coup.

My problem with him is not the posting style, but the actual content... He just seems to repeat himself over and over and over... Unless someone here has some big memory problems theres no need for that
We already know:
1 - Consoles are gonna die, PCs will rule
2 - Console gamers are getting ripped off because games are too expensive
3 - AMD would be successful if they offered 90000 HD2900XT's away for free
4 - ...
5 - ...
You get the point... Its his over-zealous character that bothers me (and most posters)
You say it once, we got the point, no need to say it 5 more times
Not here to bash Apoppin either, he does post useful information and definitely has something to contribute to the forum, its just a heads up, and I think the environment here would be alot better if he didnt get carried away so often

OK ... the *reason* i "repeat" myself is because i get the same question -over-and-over o from different posters
---if posters would quit *asking me to explain* ... you would NOT get repetition from me
-simple really
... and you ARE here to "bash Appopin" ... so don't deny it
as to my "latest" irritation ... the "AMD promo" --it was an "exercise" of which many posters here were participants of ... call it an 'experiment' ... and as far as i am concerned it is *closed* as MY analysis of AMD is COMPLETE
you do know what "complete" is? ... now i haven't posted in 6 or 7 hours - at all ... and yet my name keeps coming up over and over ... as though i were still posting.
if you think i am a troll then please "don't 'feed' me"
--or 'you' are just stupid
... and if someone else wants to KEEP bringing it up to say it "won't work" ... well then, even you guys would continue to reply
the sad thing is, most of you criticizing me really have nothing to say ... and you prefer "dull"

what's sad about people like you is that you think your the victim of some hate crime. nobody is out to get you. we're just telling you to politely STFU or stop posting textual diarrhea. your contributing more crap than content to this forum. if you cared about the well-being of this part of the forum you would stop posting the way you do.

i agree ... generally ...
i find i spend at least half of my time in *other* forums besides video [CPU/SW-GAMES/HD/FI and more ... yet i *only* get complaints from Video "regulars" ...
--you do realize that the other forums look down this one as *garbage* populated by angry and hateful flamers and most wouldn't be caught dead here.
:Q
let's have a more realistic assessment of ourselves and our "opinions"

I dunno apoppin, I don't see him posting horribly formatted, overly punctuated and spaced, barely readable posts. It's hard for you to point fingers at other folks when you're the standout example of such a posting style.
Speaking to analysts and investors, Tom Sonderman, who heads up manufacturing technology for the firm, said that it was on course to transition entirely to 65nm by the end of the year, and to start manufacturing on 45nm by the middle of next year.
This, he said, would mean that manufacturing would keep pace with Intel (although Intel transitioned to 65nm last year). Sonderman claimed that the delays in moving fully to 65nm were deliberate, and were part of DAAMIT's strategy for 'elegant efficiency', which means utilising existing process technology to its full before making additional investments.
IF i said ^ that ^ [which DOES agree with my own analysis] you'd take issue with just because it is "me"This, roughly translated, means bleeding 90nm dry because there isn't enough cash to properly equip 65nm labs yet, we suspect. The lack of cash at the firm (caused by heavy Q1 losses through price cuts) has hurt its potential manufacturing capacity, and the problem has been exacerbated by the fact that Dell is demanding so many chips there aren't enough to be shipped out to retail, alienating traditional AMD customers like system builders and enthusiast DIY-ers.
Native quad-core server chip Barcelona will be produced, in volume, on 65nm by the middle of this year, Sonderman said. Since this is merely weeks away, it seems optimistic, given that AMD currently only has a single 65nm fab online. The second won't be ready until Q4, according to recent estimates from the company.
Meanwhile, as AMD ramps up 65nm production, Intel will be launching 45nm Penryn by the end of Q3. AMD claims that it is on track to launch 45nm processors by the middle of 2008, fully nine months later than Intel at the very least. This means that AMD will have merely a year with 65nm as its high-end production line, consequently, the technology could be phased down very quickly. Alternatively, it could mean that 45nm technology will be delayed as the company struggles to transition fabs for the second time in 12 months, leaving 65nm as the high end for more like 18 months. I know which bet my money's on.
Whilst AMD execs like Sonderman may claim that manufacturing is going exactly according to plan, every other aspect of the business suggests otherwise. Just yesterday, ATI announced that it will be continuing its contract with TSMC to produce graphics chips, and 65nm chips will be produced in factories in the Far East throughout this year. These chips were already supposed to be shipping in the form of the Radeon HD 2900 XTX, but manufacturing has again not worked out according to plan and the launch of such chips has been delayed, then delayed again.
DAAMIT must have been planning to consolidate GPU manufacturing in AMD fabs - after all, that's one of the big cost savings the pair could make to justify their business partnership, and preparations need to be put in place for GPU/CPU Fusion - but the renewal of the contract with TSMC suggests that this isn't going to be happening any time soon.

Actually, his posts are good for me, they make me exercise my scrolling finger at least 3-4 times a page
