Didn't Pohl say it broke off because they couldn't agree on who was worth more?

I'd guess it went something like.....PTSC says to xyz company we're worth more and we want to buy you out. xyz says to PTSC no we're worth more and we want to buy you out. Then each wipped out their respective ledger and just couldn't agree.

It's a classic case of Ledger Envy.

May PTSC give us all a pot of gold.
