Plus, wave 30 mil in front of anyone and it's not unreasonable to expect a yes. But keep in mind that these guys were still going to be involved in the site after sale-- it was not a cut and run affair. So since the nope is a personal opinion, you now have a score of 100%. Congrats! :)

I personally was a little surprised that AR was going to be sold. I fully expectted it to be monetized somehow though. In fact I had been surprised that it had not moved to an attempt at profitabilty before now. AR likely has a high percentage of people who were generally clueless about the internet before they started on AR. AR never protrayed themselves as a Start-Up looking for an IPO/buyout. I can see how that would be easy to misunderstand the nature of thing if you were basically an internet noob.
