Pat...I can't refute that there hasn't been a Split ever announced under such circumstances as I have not researched that. What I am saying is I do not see the logic of decreased value, "cash flow", or whatever you want to call it....If actual cash were at stake, possibly, but in a pre-set, defined, pre-determined stock ratio purchase I can't see where a split would alter anything---If anything, because of the Split phenomena a Split could actually reward NSCP shareholders with more valuable AOL shares even more than without a Split. I AM going to research this Aquisition/No Split-until-deal-is finalized to see if you are right...If you are correct I would think it would be coincidental but not for the reasons you state....And If coincidental, history could change this Quarter.

Pat, remember this statement...Regarding AOL won't announce a split because no company has ever announced a split while in the process of an acquisition.... <<Last time wow !!!!! Show me a Company that made any kind of aquisition and split within a 12 month time frame?????? Whether before the deal is Final or after !!!! I still see no posts on this happening.... I will be shocked to see one..... I am still waiting !!!!!! (Pat Lombardo-parenthesis mine)>> AT&T, this last week.....(AND AOL soon, BEFORE the acquisition).. So, contact me via PM for that free dinner you said you would buy if this is something that has never been done...You don't actually think AT&T is the first one do you? Regards, George
