As he has acknowledged MarkA was the off-topic spammer (slam enough) that started this nonsense by posting a preposterous IBM promo piece which is why I chose that name for the thread that I started. I wanted to lay out the facts that the hardware on which 2 of the 3 comparisons were run, and likely the O/S and the storage arrays on the third made a real comparison worthless.

He is prolonging this "nonsense" for reasons I can not fathom. And I will not respond again. Everything that can be said has been and much that should never have been too.
