I know why there are concerns, and I initially addressed it in the draft version of my post-PR post, but removed it at Matt's request because it seemed to be a kind of "bashing" thing.
I think a lot of the concerns are based on seeing what happened to Silicon Investor when it was acquired by Go2Net, who was later acquired by InfoSpace.
Keep in mind that we later acquired Silicon Investor and look what we did with it. Well, okay, maybe not the BEST example.
But when we bought SI, it was basically "Ugh! This thing's a mess!" and I spent 18 months of my life basically doing nothing but rewriting it from scratch. Rewriting it to be what it was prior to its first acquisition, but with new bells and whistles.
ADVFN knows they didn't buy something that's a mess and in need of fixing.
They know the status quo is working and have no intention of messing with it.
