I guess what I was really wondering concerns the possible dilutive effect on the share price: if my bazillionth of the company is currently worth $37.xxx and all of a sudden there are a whole lot more pieces of the pie to hand out, doesn't the value of my nanoslice go down?

And if these additional shares are used to purchase USRX, isn't the 1.75 per USRX share not really worth 1.75*37.xxx but rather something less?

Isn't it kind of like when I want to buy a TV or something? I look in my pocket and if there's a kilobuck, I can get one..If not, then can I print enough to buy it anyway? And if I do, what is the value of the "money" I give to the TV dealer? In the end, I would have all of the money I had, plus a new TV...seems to defy some natural law.

There must be something I'm missing...because I'm the only one who seems nervous that my stake somehow just got (or is about to get) smaller.

Thanks for all the responses. Jim
