>as if it were a subsidiary Having gone through an acquisition, I guarantee that our acquired org gets more than 150 emails from our acquirer every two years. Let alone each day. To call it a "subsidiary" is ludicrous.

Don’t worry, I won’t. Snark aside, I think the current platforms are going to be the only ones folks use; and then there’s going to be stuff that is entirely different. These clones are getting just silly.
