Still not in favour of a buyout, even after all of these years; we finally can see the finish line and now there is talk of handing off to someone else to finish the race??

Of course it would all depend on what the buyout price would be, but I fear it would not be substantial (see recent stock price).

I remember sometime in the past, and it could be several years now, Suresh said that the company was not for sale; that may have recently changed, but I doubt all of these high level employees we've picked up over the years want to work for some major comglomerate as a peon, they want to drive this thing to greatness.

I'm always willing to contemplate alternatives, but a buyout is amongst the least desireable, for me.
