This is off topic spam.

Enough is enough. This time will ignore this off topic and will not feed 
the troll. Thanks to your mail cancelled upgrade to Intel Haswell. This 
would be my first Intel since Pentium 75 from 1995. But no. Will wait and 
buy AMD again and make sure none of Intel components will be there. I hope 
Intel will understand someday that ML jabbers/trolls do more bad than good 
to company's brand. Hoped something changed for better since my last 
unsubscribe but no. Unsubscribing again. If someone needs my help or 
advice do it prv please.
