K I S, same math used by WCOM during its acquisitive years for UUnet, MFST, etc. All jokes aside, it does seem quite dilutive and I agree with you that YHOO would have to put ATHM up in some form of a partnership w/ T (or perhaps even get T to participate in financing the deal by relinquishing certain assets or in some other capacity). Possibilities are there for this deal, but as you said, "how could Yahoo afford to pay $X billion" that is indeed a HUGE amount. There definatley has to be some creative financial structure for this deal to ever see the day of light. Hope this helps.

Regards,
SH
