Again, though, these lists tend to be a few years out of date, and I don't appreciate you calling me a liar because you undershot the number of Vons stores in 1997 by over 100. But I digress.

Just my opinion, but judging from history, my opinion of this merger has changed 180 degrees. I think the merger should be allowed to go through with the amount of divestitures Kroger/Albertsons currently want. C&S may not fail as bad as the Haagan debacle, but it will fail. The simple answer i...
