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.

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.

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.

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…”
