Not sure if anyone here was around in Feb when we already started having discussions about possible ODN consolidation.
@WheresMyPants was involved and had been recently badly burnt by the MOO/SRT RTO - The consolidation there was 45:1 when everyone was expecting 10:1 or better - I ask at the time how likely people thought that ODN/GRD would follow the same path and promptly got shot down by people (who I now assume were Daytrader) about down-ramping and how the two were totally different.
Well hindsight definitely a b!tch - The two now look exactly the same - all we can do now is desperately try convince ourselves why Gridcomm will fly when Shareroot is still floundering doing nothing much.
