I have no idea who silverbullit is (or isn't, for that matter); but I do know that it is not in the least bit uncommon for people here to be very defensive about tehir reader of choice; especially if they feel it is being denigrated unfairly. Please note I said feel. This indicates that I am referring to their subjective opinion, and am in no way agreeing or disagreeing with them. Whoever they may be.
Furthermore, and you'll have to forgive me if I don't dig up the examples right now, there have been other instances where someone, who is not a moderator here and does not work for any of the companies producing or selling these devices, has told some-one else to change the title of a thread because it is felt to be misleading.
Just look at SiverBullit's history, at the fact that two brand new members have come on this thread to help him in his funny personal fight against me. And please do not be naive about PR on internet! Billions of dollars are spent advertising on internet each year, but a lot of money/time/energy is also spent by companies doing covert PR though blogs and forums. Maybe you believe that this forum is an oasis pure of any PR...the largest forum about e-readers did not attract people from the companies selling e-readers or their paid PR people? Yeah, sure! Even a Disney cartoon is less naive than that!
Finally - whilst I am aware, and I am sure many others here are also, that a high IQ does not mean you have a good grasp of the language you are writing in; it does rather make your claims of an incredibly high IQ to look, shall we say, a little less plausible than otherwise.
Kindest regards,
Am.
