There's a surprising number of negative comments here. Have any of you ever started a company and been involved in an acquisition process from the front lines? If not, I'd suggest being a little more careful with your wording. Your statements come across as worse than naive--they come across as petty, with a tinge of idiocy. I'd just make sure I was more informed about these decisions/processes before making commentary on them.
