In private correspondence we have been rationalizing Intel's position while trying to come to agreement with them for over two years. We've dealt with about 4-5 people of importance in the decision making process. Thousands of people have given them arguments that often surprised me with their damage and truth. In those two years I've learned one major thing: Intel either doesn't know what it is doing and/or the Intel employees are lying to us every step of the way, in bad faith. If hundreds of private correspondences with Intel failed to help us rationalize why they are being so irrational, I don't think a bunch of people on a mailing list are going to do any better. So... good luck. I still think that letting Intel know what you think matters more than anything else. And the volume of complaints will eventually have an impact.
