Dear Sonny: You misunderstand what I meant by fan approval. CNBC tries to make guests make PROVOCATIVE statements. Example, "give me a stock that will double in a year" cause they deem that the typical listener likes that BS. I am absolutely sure that Bob Pittman said that the combined merger would bring each of the entities growth rates up. Not that the combined would equal or exceed AOL's premerger growth rate. No executive would be dumb enough to make a statement like that on National TV even if he thought it might be so. In fact Bob even said to Bill I AM NOT GOING TO FORECAST our growth rate on T/V. Not to mention the fact that even he I am sure is not yet sure of what it will be. However, to say that the combined entity growth rate will increase is a reasonable assumption. JDN
