What I don't understand here is why SmugMug bought Flickr in the first place. Smugmug is such a great example of how to build a profitable photo storing/sharing-ish business, that to buy a service that is bleeding money without a path to break even seems like such an odd choice.

If you take their message at face value, they bought flickr just because they thought they should save it. If you can't believe that, feel free to come up with any conspiracy you want.

  I'm not sure what this adds. "They thought they should have it"? That just begs the question...

    Save it, not have it.
