Well, my two cents,<div><br></div><div>Robert used Chinua Achebes literary approach :-), most of us want direct English (the twitter era). At least he has brought to fore the key issues even though the title appears sensational, the end justifies the means.</div>

massess like Gilda Otieno says lets not be intimidated or intimidate<br>

Thanks @Walu, Your clarification is a good reflection.<br>
<br>
Now some listers will understand the social mutation of kictanet, and its<br>
pecking order too.<br>

@Kivuva<br>
<br>
Since I know Yawe's style, I had indeed not taking the title too seriously<br>
and again I do know something about IBM actually being a top 5 software<br>
(not even hardware) companies and so there's no way they could be dead.<br>
<br>
But following the reactions, I had now to search and get the original post<br>
and sure enough the content was indeed +ve for IBM - but as @PKukubo<br>
said,<br>
some people would take this subject line and tweet/fb/run with it with<br>
unforseen repercussions.<br>
<br>
Moral of the story - some Listers have over time developed more<br>
*authority* or *followers* to use the tweeter analogy than others. But<br>
with that comes the responsibility that such Listers must weigh the<br>
impact<br>
of their posts more than others - because many a times their posts are<br>
more<br>
likely to be taken as gospel truth and perhaps quoted in other forums<br>
where<br>
the readers there do not know that @Yawe was posting with a pinch of<br>
salt....<br>
<br>
walu.<br>
nb: I also tweaked his subject line to match his original content<br>

As we approve and condemn the phantom caller, we should also learn to<br>
take what Robert says with a little pinch of salt<br>
