I've said here several times that I felt that Aol would eventually acquire Amzn, but I don't understand how Case James, I am asking you a serious question: We know that Mr. B and his parents together control about 55% of Amzn's shares, and KP holds less than 1/3 of their original shares now(they have less than 3 million shares left.) How will KP benefit if Aol acquires Amzn a year from now??

I've said here several times that I felt that Aol would eventually acquire Amzn, but I don't understand how Case could do that and not piss off all his advertising clients? The Karma would be easy. After all, they're babies of Kleiner Perkins "the grandpa of them all". James, I do not believe AOL will acquire AMZN. It would piss off the other advertising clients and Kleiner Perkins will have exited AMZN by then. I am not sure that Bezos is still on their list of favorite people. Glenn
