My Guess is that anyone commenting on this blog with stuff like: GREAT! Congrats! Well Done! You Deserve IT! is most likely a current stockholder, ex-employee, disgruntled ex-employee, about to be ex-employee, Intuit employee, a buddy, or a loved one. I would venture to say that anyone who has a direct stake in the aftermath, such as current customers, devoted employees, or vendors and sub-contractors will be freaked out for sure and for good reason. HAS ANYONE evidence of “good things” for existing employees or customers resulting from an acquistion? Even current stockholders who are rejoicing will be closely watching the stock value so that they can sell it at more than it’s current value is, but before it goes in the inevitable dumper after the newness wears off.

I forgave Justin, for selling… I just wish we’d get the real-skinny – Not some watered down, or trumped up “sunshine and sugar up up your @$$” public relations, press article. I doubt ANYONE believes in Homestead’s 5 priorities right now (except possibly #5 shareholder)… C’Mon – Tell it like it is! AT least you’d get out with some respect.
