Sophist .. What puzzles me somewhat is this: If Rmarchma has so minimal regard for the role of management in contributing to the realization of his well articulated "Fourteen Compelling Reasons to Buy IDCC", why has he invested so much time, effort and energy in trying to push a "reform of Management agenda"? Why such a pre-occupation with governance issues that have little to do with the "underlying technology"? This juxtaposition of word and deed somehow makes me think that Rmarchma is being somewhat disengenuous.
His formulating and posting of many "Concerns and Issues" that almost all deal with the failings and problems of Management, combined with his occasional efforts at activism and organizing on a grand scale, has stirred many people both on and off this board to complain about, criticize and confront Management on all sorts of issues we have all become familiar with, sometimes to the exclusion of almost any other topic, including the presumably all important "underlying technology".
What on earth is the point of all this management-focused effort, with all the friction, disharmony and distraction it generates, if he really believes that an assessment of management is not a significant factor in his decision to buy or sell IDCC? Can someone please explain this to me? The cognitive dissonance arising from my trying to square this circle is beyond my ability to dispel.
Darn you .. you figured out that I didn't want to call Marchma on this because I was afraid that he would try to convince the board that this was all "personal" between us. You just might be as smart as you appear to be.
