>A good reminder that an "acquisition proposal" without any indication of price is not an acquisition proposal. Asking so much information without any such indication is just crazy.

I... don't know? I know at the low end, you are completely correct. If I had a nickle every time someone wanted to buy prgmr.com for the ebay value of the servers, well, I'd be able to buy another server or two.

I ended up being pretty free with my revenue numbers... and yeah, most people are just sniffing. I guess I wasn't much of a business person, so i didn't really understand (still don't, really) why those should be super secret.

But on the high end, I would assume (and again, zero experience on the high end) I would assume that if it were worth google's lawyer time to set up the deal that they would come out with a price that was, you know, significant money by my own standards.
