I thought you were banned?

I don't know the specifics of the case you're talking about, but sometimes people only get banned for a week or so -- just to keep them in line.

I could understand this if you were talking about Rollo.. But when was Chris Ray an active member of AT anyway? Besides that, don't you want some advice from ppl that I suspect are more knowledgeable than you ? :disgust:

I agree in a sense, but why use a known viral agent, when the nvidia driver team could just reply directly. Anyways seems like good info.

Ronnn I think most of us are clever enough to distinguish between a biased post and an informative one. I know you are on of those.. ;)
And if you ask me I'd like from time to time to see ppl that know what are they talking about posting here in AT.. This place is not what it used to be, that's for sure.
But let's not bring this old viral marketing thing back in the surface once more, no need I was just pointing out that some of these ppl that were in the program are much more objective than many of us think..
