Let's restore the snipped misrepresentation:

In reality, I merely pointed out that IBM's own published specs said 
the drives in question were intended to operate no more than ~8 hours 
a day, which would tend to contraindicate their use in a 24/7 server. 
If you want to whine about being assured your drives would die in a 
fiery blaze, go buzz in IBM's ear -- IBM wrote the specs.

While we're at it, no, I did not.  You were proclaiming that 
everybody should build their own machines from parts, and rattled off 
countless benefits.  I merely pointed out that there were also 
downsides to BYO, and that which way to go depended on individual 
circumstances.  At no point do I recall saying that you were wrong to 
build _your_ own machines.  (Though I wouldn't doubt that you took it 
that way, given that you appear to be hypersensitive.)

Feel free to prove me wrong.  I'm pretty sure there are archives out 
there.  I'm not going to check them right now, because it isn't worth 
wasting more time on you.

>are you saying you didn't criticize my choice of drives ?

No.  I am saying that you misrepresented what I said about them.
