However, since you don’t like Comcast, let’s try another one that has few (if any) mergers involved: I don't think so. Care to expand on this?

No... HE has not acquired a significant number of other businesses to the best of my knowledge.
People, including me, are not interested in relying on your knowledge.
My knowledge in this case is having been an HE employee for several years. Admittedly, that was some time ago, but I am pretty sure I would have heard of any major acquisitions by HE.
If you think we should blindly believe your unfounded statement not supported by any verifiable reference, that is the condescending behavior.
Do you have contravening knowledge or information? HE Is a private company, so it’s nearly impossible to get detailed information about such things. You offer no counter-argument nor any reason that my knowledge is inaccurate, you simply claim it’s not credible because you don’t like what it says. That’s far more condescending.
Moreover, your logic is flawed, because, even though HE may acquire only one business, the acquired business may have acquired a lot of other businesses.
The business I know it acquired was (at the time of acquisition) a relatively small east coast ISP startup. It did not have a significant history of acquisitions.
Repeating your condescending statement doesn't make it any more accurate the second time.
That is an accurate and proper reaction to those who insists that Moore's law were not ending.
We can again agree to disagree. You’ve offered no proof, no actual evidence to support this, only your own assertion. To quote your own statement: “If you think we should blindly believe your unfounded statement not supported by any verifiable reference…” Owen
