A good merger should not be dependent on the accounting method. If mergers and acquisitions stop because of how the FASB mandates merger accounting then those mergers should probably not have taken place to begin with.

I could not agree more with you, Chuzz--in principle. However, I can easily understand why companies might be leery of anything that appears to mess with reported earnings in a market that seems to value only accelerating revenue and earnings growth. We have seen the effects of accounting changes all too recently, you and I.
