Well I'm certainly not "getting it" with some of what you are saying, but that's because I'll ask questions I need answered in order to "get it" but they aren't answered. Sounds more like you mean "agree with me" than "get it".

So say you, I haven't been able to find anything about Shaw's history along those lines. So I asked the question about Shaw, you say I'm "not getting it" or I'm "ignoring" it, when in fact I'm just asking for the information...

Telus paid to buy AGT. I don't know the circumstances of Shaw going public. Bulk implies a certain amount when I haven't seen anything beyond your handwaving assertions to support it. To you this may all be 100% fact, but to me it's just bare assertions so far, I'm not sure why asking for support for "100% facts" is seen as "ignoring" or "not getting it".

As I've said over and over and over and over and over, I don't disagree with this.

Lol, I'm going to have to being every post with:
DISCLAIMER: I support the concept of government intervention in monopolies to ensure the concerns of the consumer are adequately factored in.
