As you can read, I have definite disagreements with approach TF has taken on many subjects but having worked for them for 18 years, I'm not likely to be duped.
No perhaps 800F does not have the resources currently...but I would be willing to bet that Jim McCann (personally) and a few of his closest friends (venture capitalists) could.*thinking out loud here*
I don't think 1-800 is in a financial position to purchase TF, but the Resnicks must have some sort of long-term exit strategy.

TELEFLORA IS TOAST, the Franklin Mint CEO has NO integrity in the floral business, and TF is going down!!...sooner than you think!!
So you know and much as I know that we use them as they use us and eventually we get tired and move on to someone else or use someone else. Eventually we will be so strong as real florist that they will realize their mistakes.
United we stand....
