I kinda remembered ~cablepair being something of a dick a long time ago before he became mister salt-of-the-earth in running his 'business'.  The benefit of having been around for a while I guess.  Not that it mattered much because I never was even close to buying any ASIC from anyone until I see one working and working well.  Even then, if I buy any 1st generation stuff it'll be because the next gen made it a bargin.
