We saw that X was up for sale on their own site and since we have a long going law suit against them for abuse of our trademark name Y, we wanted to be pragmatic and just use our immense profits to buy them. This will hopefully make us spend less time with the lawsuit.Y will use the tools from X to make a better rating system. Then Y will divide X up into smaller companies and sell to the highest bidders. We see no use for an auction site since most stuff is available for free. X.com will in the future be redirected to Y.org, and hopefully this will put Y into the top 5 internet sites today.
