I just got back on here and can no longer edit the comment. If I could, I would remove the link, but I have always found it kind of silly to "delete" things from the web like this or not link to it when in reality it still exists. It gives a false sense of privacy and just in general breaks things.

It's not a question of screwing over the acquirers, it's just that in that case the acquirer had much more experience and could easily use the information they could get from the discussion to their advantage
