The key issue, as I said, I whether there is actually going to be a
buyer's cartel, as opposed to the idea of one simply being sent up as
one of many trial balloons we've seen on the topic this year.  The
barriers are not only legal but also enormously high in political and
practical terms.  Until and unless it appears even remotely likely to
actually happen, which it doesn't, I don't see any point in continuing
along this line.  Even in the few days since the idea was floated, it
has essentially disappeared from public discussion.  

Of all the things that might happen, good or bad, this just isn't one of
them.
