Re: Please don't all rush to apologise for all the unwarranted abuse I received for daring to speak the truth ;-).
It was well deserved abuse. You proclaimed the Woodcrest launch a "Paper Launch", when it's clear you don't even know what one is. The availability of the CPU is just one component of the server you order from Dell or HP. They are already receiving parts, and have been ever since Monday (or earlier, for all you know). They are also gathering dozens of other parts and assembling these to fit the custom options of the customer (DDR2-667 FB-DIMMs come to mind, along with Woodcrest compatible heat sinks, etc). You are pointing to the ship date of the entire server (which includes assembly time), and like an idiot you are proclaiming that Intel is late in delivering the CPU. And you don't see the disconnect here?
For crying out loud, Mas. People have also "abused" you because you are carrying on endlessly about something that is essentially unimportant (a 10 day delta in shipments between a current high volume product and a product announced this week). People hate the way you are rude and condescending. They hate the fact that you are persistent beyond words, even when you're wrong. They hate the way you spam this board with posts that seem all too much like gratuitous Intel bashing, rather than the "truth" that you proclaim. And they hate the fact that you attack people, and then ask for an apology when you get it right back to you.
Don't you see how pathetic and loathed you are here? Are you somehow proud that you have accomplished such infamy by taking comfort in believing that you are "right", even when everyone else says you're not? It takes an extraordinarily nonsensical (and no doubt mentally unstable) person to justify such behavior.
