		<description>Intuit might even buy Bronto for that matter :)

----

You never know ... but like you, I would have something to say in the matter.

But really, it wouldn&#039;t make as much sense given our price points and where we are competing. If you look at your revenues now and a good revenue multiple, you guys would be very consistent in deal size with many of their acquisitions in the $100 to $200mm range -- assuming that you wanted to go that way. I can doctor up an iContact / Intuit company logo if that would help grease the wheels.

Nice chatting with you yesterday.

Cheers,
Joe</description>
