Can't, I usually agree with or am educated by your view point.
This time I'd change the " desperation play" description into more like the playground-bully offer of his brutal beat-down, thinking he's so magnaminous it'll float. This kind of attitude gets fed from some source. And a few reems cld be written on that speculation. And then all that brings me back to BossKent's post of "I don't like this, or was it: This makes me nervous?" Both apply IMO. The calming thought is if VZ takes KRY for granted, otherwise it cld be deep doo-doo time. I hold my shares, but I'm not a happy camper.
