Jim

Do not let a bunch of esoteric purported market savy blowhards send you packing. They have not lived your journey in this investment and never will. If you are gone, I am gone. We can just watch and discuss the developments together in our final years of determining whether we have been right or wrong on this baby.

Let me know.

There is no way any of us on this board are going to allow that to happen! Please go to bed and get some rest, this will all look very different in the morning, my friend! You have done an extraordinary job with this and all of the other boards you have formed, but sometimes people just have differing opinions about things…………especially right before the news POPS!

With much gratitude,

Magilla

JimLur, Don’t let that affects you. I don’t know how many shares those people have but I have a feeling that you do have a substantial ownership in IDCC. A responsible investor need to look at both sides of the equation especially with all the scandals have happened (since Enron debacle)

[chartex]

Jim, please reconsider your posted decision. You have been the backbone of this board and many do not know how you have really backed and supported this company up and beyond that of a normal shareholder....Your leadership has been the glue that has held us together. Now that daylight and rewards seem to be in sight. you are needed more than ever.

Jimlur, Please stay the course as you are so highly esteemed by all of us, and your board also by so many in the investment community. Importantly, we are all about to be big winners together, so to be honest - your timing sucks. I will accept your resignation only after celebrating with you at the Houston 100, and by then I hope you change your mind.

JimLur, Remember your old testament where Moses lead the Israelites through their long ordeal but he never entered the promised land.
We are almost there and I hope you wll lead us into the land of milk and honey.

[mmbtx_1]

Jim, The masses will speak out, and I think it will be quite clear that we need you to stay on and finish what you started those many moons ago. I for one wish you would reconsider..
This forum is your baby and we are all behind you 110%,

As new board Moderator i promise a chicken in every Pot !! and further more..eerrrrrrrrr
never mind !!!!!!!!!!!
Jim come on man are you kidding me 4 jackarse posters and you want to quit.

was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbour?

Richard Nixon is probably our must famous quitter, resigning in scandal in 1974.but the U.S.A is still here !!!

Florida men's basketball coach Billy Donovan accepted a job in 2007 to coach the NBA's Orlando Magic but quit before ever coaching a game. Donovan signed a contract in Orlando on June 1,(magic still made the playoffs)

Soon after taking the music, movie pop world by storm, the Spice Girls' Geri Halliwell, a.k.a Ginger Spice, decided in 1998 to chuck it it in. She cited differences with the group. The Girls have apparently patched up their problems and, yeah!, are back on tour,

His Airness" Michael Jordan came down to earth in 1993 when he quit hoops, which he was pretty good at, to try baseball, which he was pretty bad at. He came back to basketball in 1995, quit again in 1998 after winning six championships,
Nick Saban, now Alabama's coach (as of today), has left the last two teams in the lurch. He quit as coach of LSU to take his "dream" job with Dolphins in 2004. That job was apparently more of a nightmare. He bolted for 'Bama in 2007 to become highest-paid coach in college football.

as you can see some great people qiut and came back so stop this i quit stuff and delete my next post !!!

I'm a big boy and take all the punches.

Walk the walk Jim....stick around.

[belgian]

You have created a community over the years, you are deeply appreciated and respected, please remember all the fans that you have. Stay with us,

Jim don't listen to those 4 posters but realize the thanks from all the others that really appreciate all that you have done for me and the rest of the IDCC investors over the years. If you want to say good bye, that is entirely up to you as you deserve a break after all you have done. If you are doing it because some question your dedication, then just don't respond to them. I really hope you stay on board because I am selfish and think nobody else out there can do as good a job.

btw, I just looked up when they filed the 8k about LG and it was filed on Monday Jan 23, 2006 announcing the agreement signed on Wed Jan 18, 2006. Other lesser deals have been announced the same day it was signed and the biggest deal in the company's history is signed 1 business day after options expiration? Not a coincidence in my opinion. They had a reason for doing so, I just don't know what it was.

From the 8k:

SEC Filings
8-K
INTERDIGITAL INC. filed this Form 8-K on 01/23/06



Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 18, 2006, InterDigital Communications Corporation's patent
holding subsidiaries (collectively, InterDigital) entered into a worldwide,
non-transferable, non-exclusive, patent license agreement with LG Electronics
Inc. (LG). The five-year patent license agreement, effective January 1, 2006,
covers the sale, both prior to January 1, 2006 and during the five-year term, of
terminal units compliant with all TDMA-based Second Generation (2G) standards
(including TIA-136, GSM, GPRS, and EDGE) and all Third Generation (3G) standards
(including WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and cdma2000(R) technology and its extensions), and
infrastructure compliant with cdma2000(R) technology and its extensions up to a
limited threshold amount, under all patents owned by InterDigital prior to and
during the term of the license. Under the terms of the patent license agreement,
LG is obligated to pay InterDigital three equal installments of $95 million, in
the first quarters of 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. At the end of the five
year term, LG will receive a paid-up license to sell single-mode GSM/GPRS/EDGE
terminal units under the patents included under the license.

Jim, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I hope you did NOT resign as board moderator.

As I just returned from a long day on the road for work, I don't know what was said or not said, but I for one want to thank you for everything that you've done over the years. I understand that the past several days have been painful after such a nice run up only to see the shareprice fall back a bit, but I want to ask you to stay on and see this thing through to the completion of a Nokia license and a Samsung license.

We're all overly invested in this sickness of IDCC, but finish the ride with us if you can. If you really must resign, then all I can do is say thanks for all of your hard work, service, and encouragement over these past many years. I don't blame you for voicing your frustration, but understand that many board members look to you for encouragement when they are feeling concerned. If they knock you for being negative, it's because they are afraid that your feelings may be an indication that they were wrong for investing in IDCC.

You have many supporters who don't always say thanks as often as they should. Please accept my thank you at this time. Also, please reconsider staying on as board moderator if only for a little bit more. We truly are closer than ever and it just won't be the same if we don't have Jim Lurgio to kick around anymore.

Most Sincerely,

Badgerkid

[bulldzr]

Jimlur, please reconsider and stick around. Do as Magilla suggested and sleep on it. This board wouldn't be the same without your tireless efforts in behalf of all.

[paheka]

Jim..guess i was one that could be considered 'critical".Thats my right, BUT i do appreciate ALL your contributions so please accept my apology!

[Data_Rox]

Jim - nope, no can do.

Why let the bozos ruin YOUR parade? They ain't squat in the scheme of things...You have too much of an investment in these boards....dang, was it really like 12-13 years ago we met on Frezza forum?

besides, I'd hate to see who might press that "add me as moderator" button... you might get a Danny Detail that thinks he could do better - rof!
