<<Do you think it is possible that the people working on this acquisition may be smart guys that have some experience in the field? I don't know who you are or what you know, and I don't give a $hit, because the people that matter DO know what they are doing and are well respected within the appropriate community.>>
Item one, Mr Jones, anyone who has been in or near this business for more than six months knows that smart guys with some experience in the field have been responsible for a whole lot of massive c**kups. It happens. The second part of the quote is both a classic example of argumentum ad hominem and an example of the insularity and arrogance that protects bad choices from challenge. Onward the Light Brigade!
Maybe you should consider that there is something happening here and you don't know what it is, do you, Mr Jones?
