It seems to me your question was answered, albeit not in the way you might have guessed. Drew seems to be the only one who answered in the expected manner. The rest of the repondants answered by showing the popular disgust of the whole debacle. No celebration of the occasion seems to have occured. As for me, I didn't know the merger had happened until some time later. I suppose like most, I tried to get out and capture some of the EsPee before it was gone.

Not much of a celebration. Kind of like when Macy's showed up on the west coast; there is too much homoginization in America for me as it is.

Later, I watched the meltdown. I was hoping the merger would dissolve, but of course that wouldn't happen.
