After what USAI went through trying to acquire Lycos, why would Wal-Mart want to get involved with them? If you offer $150 a share, they'll scream for $200. If you offer $200, they'll want $300. They managed to sabotage the USAI-Lycos merger over the weak protests of Lycos' CEO, Bob Davis. Now Davis is telling the press that trying to merge with a company like USAI was a bad idea because USAI is a "slower-growth, high-revenue, high-earnings" business. So what kind of business is Wal-Mart in? And what does that say about the real value of a company like Lycos? If you want to see what I'm talking about, just read a few messages on the Yahoo Lycos board. Forget about Lycos! Start with this one: messages.yahoo.com
