Weyerhaeuser put out a little bit of an olive branch and Willamette threw it back in their face.

The issues are all about price. The odds-on play here is that these guys do a deal. What's interesting is that I don't see any opening for Willamette to come to the table now.

Let Willamette's board deal with the consequences. This is a great time for Weyerhaeuser to be out looking for deals.

If I see anything that concerns me here, it's that the rhetoric went up a little bit in their response.

Steve Rogel is a very determined individual. He's got a big checkbook and he's not going away.

This is like a Greek tragedy.
