"Total strangers on the Internet were speculating on why we sold, how much we might have made, and what our revenues might have looked like."
This is what the Internet does, and for better or worse, I hope my (advertised) speculation[1] what taken in the vein it was offered - without judgement or malice.
Now that we know more about the deal, I'd like to add my congratulations to you and the employees. I've sold two companies (well ... my part of them) so I know the anxiety that comes right before and right after the sale. It sounds like you've made a very wise decision and I wish you the best as part of Marin.
