Let's hope CMGI doesn't make the same mistake!

Truthfully -- I think DW and CMGI *did* learn that lesson before in the Lycos debacle with Barry ("Don't-Call-Me-Phyllis") Diller...

Truthfully, I think the "merger" is a steal for AOL shareholders...

JS-I don't think AOL just got screwed. Sure, this deal will take time to digest, but AOL is then set up to be, as Case has always said...."AOL everywhere." I think patience will pay off well in holding AOL. AOL & CMGI are far different beasts, but they both have a place in my portfolio.

they won't-all you have to do is recall dw's reaction to usa-lcos deal. who is smart? could it be DW? <g>

Also as to valuations, no-one gets it like DW - it's classification. look at xcit after athm acquisition and aol now as they begin to come under downward valuation pressure of cable classification. no brainer--hi to low valuation = inet to cable to telco. Right or wrong, the street puts everything in the cheapest/most conservative box.
