Does anyone here feels that its nothing but a well articulated drama, a very well designed buyout indeed? I get this sense not from reading anything directly, but watching the facial expressions of Diller and Davis company on Cavuto the other night. May be Mr. Davis is much smarter than folks are giving him credit for these days!!! :-) Here is the story: When the bride and groom were sitting on nearby chairs, and Neil started interviewing them, at couple of occasions I think, Diller stole the words from what Davis was about to say in responses to questions. After watching them thats what I felt. But then, here is the interesting part: Of course, respecting Diller's age appropriately, I think, Davis kept mum and let him speak on a few occasions ... but Davis's face was full of emotions (seen when the camera moved on him while Diller was speaking), and had almost a quaint smirk kinda gesture I felt. I usually associate those kind of facial muscle movements to these thoughts: "Hey, I know you buddy ... you are happy now, and I want you to keep on feeling that way. I'll let you enjoy the feeling of control for now. I'm not gonna offend you by interrupting here. But deep down in my heart I know very well who is in the driver seat here, who is in-charge here! [Or even may be: Your ignorance may be bliss for now; I'm just using you right now to start a bidding war and get a higher price for myself. You were absolutely the best choice for a great visibility for me temporarily! :-)]. " Who knows? May be I'm on to nothing here or something or may be just wishful thinking. Any comments welcome! However, I strongly feel that the deal will only work out for more than $128 ... and its very close imho! Also, USAI can not be in-charge here in this transaction. They need Lycos, Lycos does not need them as such; there are million other boyfriends available for courting our cute Bobby with more expensive cars than that! :-) (kidding :-)) regards to all, -/Sonny.
