No, we were debating whether it was that Virgin Media were too "cheap" to pay the appropriate price for Sky Atlantic, or was it more likely that Sky had made the price too steep, and to support the "too steep" proposition, I (and a few others) pointed out that none of the other potential routes to market (BT Vision, Smallworld, Wightcable) had seemed to reach a deal with Sky either.
It is called "providing examples to back up your proposition", rather than just continuously stating, without supporting examples, "VM are cheap" (and I don't regard Sky stating it as supporting evidence....
).
You do like to narrow the focus down to the only part that supports your position, excluding contradictory evidence, don't you?
