jmac, <<The deal stinks. It stunk from the beginning and still stinks. USRX could have done a lot better. I will vote NO.>> It's nice to know that you think you are a better judge than Casey Cowell of what is good for USRX. Before you play CEO keep in mind that Casey built a world class multi-billion dollar company from the ground up. In addition he will be the largest share holder in the new company and has the most to lose if it is not a success. If Casey didn't think the merger was in the best long term interest of USRX why would he have initiated the deal?? Think about it for a minute. Keep in mind Casey is not interested in day traders or TA, his decisions are based on what he believes is in the best long term interest for the shareholders. I agree that being held down by COMS right now is very irritating but Casey has a great track record and I trust his vision. He understands this industry and obviously from his viewpoint, USRX has a better chance of surving/growing long term with COMS than without COMS. It is very ironic that many people that are second guessing Casey now are the same people that use to praise USRX and their strong management. Only time will tell if Casey is right but I haven't heard one credible argument to suggest that Casey is wrong. The only reasons I have heard that this is a bad deal is because it has temporarily adversely affected USRX's stock price. I'm glad that Casey has the courage to do what he feels is strategically right without worrying about the short term stock price. By the way your vote will be meaningless. The big investors who have the most to gain or lose from the deal will be voting YES. Hmmm...kind of makes you think doesn't it?? Maybe the deal doesn't really "stink" but only WS's short term reaction to the deal that "stinks". FF
