Re: Where am I heading?

Rick,

If I have offended you, I apologize. In fact, if I have offended anyone, I apologize. I intended to poke fun (gently) at Metal's posting.

I am an engineer, and I am not in marketing. If that means I am not politically correct: I never pretended to be anything other than honest.

Again, I apologize if you found my posting objectionable. I do realize that there are some (not implying you) that have absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever, and for them, all I can say is: don't waste your time reading my posts, you won't like them (as I do have a sense of humor, and I do enjoy life and its challenges).

Metal,

Pessimists always claim they are just observing reality.

You must be working for one of those companies "circling the drain?"

Really hard to be positive about anything.


I see (our) business increasing (a lot), and I see margins that are
good, and getting better, and I see new opportunities popping up all
over the place. And I see the financials that support it.

You have told all of us how we will need food, shelter, and a few sticks
to burn here in the not so distant future.

Austin, it is hard to believe that no one at Xilinx has ever reigned
you in. Often your posts are useful and technically sound. But
concepts of customer interaction and company representation seem to be
lost on you. I was not even involved in this thread and I find your
post to be insulting as well as totally inappropriate. Your "ad
hominem" attacks seem to occur anytime someone makes a technical
argument that might be hard to dispute.

To be honest, my impression of Xilinx has changed a lot over the last
few years, partly due to your postings here. Initially I did not pay a
lot of attention to your comments to me or others until I realized that
you are actually fairly influential in the company. Now I realize that
Xilinx as a whole is not a lot different than the image you present and
it bothers me. It bothers me enough that I now have a strong
preference for any other FPGA manufacturer.

I think the fact that no one at Xilinx seems to have a problem with
your posts like this one says a lot about the company.
