So now all M&A has to be done under 20/20 vision? Some business decisions go
south. Imagine that!

As I have said many times already, we're not discussing the shrewdness or
gullibility of the acquirer, but the success of a company (to be acquired).
Skype shareholders couldn't care less what eBay could/should have done.
Their interest/responsibility is to their own company. If you recall there
were multiple companies interested in Skype at the time. Skype did fine.
(eBay not so well.)

If you want to discuss how Meg Witman was sleep-walking in the last three
years of her tenure at eBay, I'd be glad to.
