The messiah said it was a merger so its a merger...if the messiah says something it is true.....here is an excerpt from a letter the Messiah and crew sent the Go2Net team at the time the deal was announced.

"It is a merger. We call it a merger for the following reasons: (1) from an
accounting perspective, the deal is a pooling of interests, not a purchase,
so we are essentially combining our financial statements; (2) Go2Net is
contributing equitable revenue to the combined company; (3) Go2Net's
executive management will continue in key executive roles when the
companies complete the merger later this year; and (4) Go2Net and InfoSpace
have a similar number of total employees. Despite all of this, some members
of the media and certain individuals will call it an acquisition since GNET
shareholders will end up with INSP shares. That is fine. Technically, it is
a merger, but we are not going to go on a holy war to explain this to
people. The combined company will be named InfoSpace and we should feel at
least as strongly about it as we have about Go2Net. Just because the name
changes, it does not mean it is not OUR COMPANY. We should take tremendous
pride in the position and opportunities of our new company. "
siliconinvestor.com the one that says #425 7/28 25

I don't agree with him not going on a holy war though to at least get the people at Infospace to have the respect to put out a news release that says MERGER.....might they forget it is GO2NET that is turning a profit not them, those AAs.
