"The key here is in how he phrased it ("There's no truth to the rumors of an acquisition,"). He said 'acquisition', notice he didn't say that it hadn't been discussed or that something else was not in the works. We also know that they DID say they were in talks with their competitors in a previous release." Ron- I also went back and reread the Business Week article. They stressed several times that the information came from sources close to the two companies. I agree that they have held discussions. Whether any of this pans out will remain to be seen. It did appear to be reliable. I guess we all live and learn. Who knows...none of us were at the meeting. I wonder what Bell's body language was like when he denied the rumors. Was he shaking his finger at the 300 money managers saying, "Now money managers, I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did not have acquisition relations with that man, Mr. Koogle (Yahoo's CEO). I never talked to Yahoo, not a single time--never. These allegations of acquisition are false. And I need to get back to work for the Excite@Home shareholders." Please tell me that is how it REALLY went, and that he is related to Clinton. I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THE RUMOR!!!!!LOL Ed
