I presume that what happens to a black hole in a galactic center is that it eats up all the stars on nearly radial orbits and tends to deprive itself of stars to consume, with new stars for it only arriving by their orbit parameters diffusing slowly to suitable parameters. An incoming galaxy would not suffer this depletion of suitable stars, and would presumably have some stars going head-on into the hole, with many more to come. Did I get it right? -- /Loren Petrich, the Master Blaster /lip@s1.gov
