Dear Suchan, You make a valid point. However, in this case, I wasn't sure how other root stores would be handling this. They may have their own processes. Also, the distribution on this list is almost 3x greater than on the CCADB public list, so I decided to post the discussion here. If the other root stores want to have a public discussion of this acquisition, then we can start a discussion on CCADB Public, too. Sincerely yours, Ben
