"I have no answer for the exceptions"

Nobody does, because there isn't one! We can reduce the occurrence of misrepresentation, intentional or not, by sharing the information that we can find as a group, which is what we do here.

"IMO the chips were obsolete"

They were IMO too. This stuff happening in the future is much less likely to happen now than it was just a few years ago. That's a good thing!

"and re-post this during the "rare" discussion It WILL apply there also. (don't worry - I'm going to try to STAY OUT of THAT one.}"

...I didn't think (until now, maybe) that you were a trouble maker! ...obsolete has nothing to do with rare! Looks like you're throwing a hand grenade with the pin still in it, watching to see if someone else pulls that pin!
