I don't know if I should waste the list's time any more than I have, but I analyzed my responses in the two most previous threads on nVidia, as well the software patent thread, and I have come to the conclusion that regardless of what my initial posts might have been, or what I had hoped to accomplish, I clearly broke down into more of a "troll" in responding to a few individuals. I want to apologize for those comments -- especially the latter posts. Those who know me know I can clearly break down into almost a self-defeating person in e-mail. I'm clearly much better at discussing these details in person -- especially in a consulting or training role, as well as in a formal, well-planned article or presentation. For some reason the inpromptu rationale and choice of words escapes me in e-mail, and I don't always handle responses the way that would most effectively show my viewpoint. I showed some greatly poor examples in the last few weeks. So my apology. Again, I can honestly and with great humility admit that well over half of my responses clearly fall into the "troll" type of response, and I will be more attentive and objective will ensuring any posts I make have more thought and to-the-point wit to them in the future. Your forgiveness for my recent transgressions is greatly appreciated, and I'll keep them at the forefront of my mind when contemplating any future response. -- Bryan J.
