...when they don't know they are being the subjects of an experiment Jim!

I read your proposal, then read further down the board. You wrote:

"BTW, if someone were to write a similar pledge regarding repaired chips, I would have no problem with anyone signing on to that list (though I wouldn't do it myself). In fact, I'd be interested in seeing just how many people actually would be willing to say that they would never be willing to buy any chip that has been repaired in any way."

Shame on you!
