Hm, I find it particularly interesting that you seem to classify AOL/Time Warner as "bad boys". I can't really agree on this, based on a simple thought: this deal (if it really happens) is purely strategic from their side, they will not earn a single buck with it. Instead chances are high RH is going to be a high flyer afterwards, we all know where they want to go tomorrow :-) I can see big chances arising, why not take them? Just go ahead, Steve! (I can say that frankly here, he's not going to read it anyway ;-)
