Could that affect REA much??? Just throwing something out there. Companies merge all the time. What if say RPdata and Renet merged and did something like REA?? Could that affect REA much???

The only thing that might save them is the fact that the business now commands such a great lead it may keep going inder it's own steam. But this now leaves REA open to competition like never before, now there is no Simon Baker there to fend them off and I think only he knows how.

They are pretty big shoes to fill ......and the name being offered around seems to have only small feet to slip in to place.. but with the board on your side and pulling the strings it will be a little bit easier... at least at the beginning.
