Why are we discussing a random 10 year old comment on someone's opinion on a random topic? Surely it cannot be the mere fact that someone asks to bookmark it for review 10 year later.
What is the OP looking to achieve, also given the title (which doesn't refer to the actual topic on the acquisition)? They want praise for putting this in their calendar? They feel we should put this George person in their place for getting it wrong?
Interestingly, I also had that comment favorited. I enjoyed it because it was a relatively reasonable take - but it shows how someone can make a prediction based on false assumptions. And of course the boldness of the take made it memorable.
I think it's kind of a lesson: dig deeper when you hear about an acquisition or major move that doesn't make sense. There are often larger implications.
