In the UK, T-Mobile and Orange To Merge 74
EthanV2 sends in BBC coverage of the merger plans of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK. "T-Mobile and Orange plan to merge their UK businesses, creating a mobile phone giant with 28.4 million customers. If completed, a deal between Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and Orange owner France Telecom would see a firm with sales of €9.4 B (£7.0 B, $13.4 B). It would be the UK's largest provider, overtaking Telefonica's O2, with about 37% of the mobile market. ... However, it is likely that competition authorities in the UK and EU will probe the deal."

However, it is likely that competition authorities in the UK and EU will probe the deal.
Is there ever any news of mergers that hit Slashdot that aren't probed by the EU?

Yes. Nothing of interest happened when the Enterprise-E was there in First Contact.

Since somebody is clearly removing all the posts that are actual spam, couldn't they remove ones like this while they're about it?
Like you say, it's not spam, but it *is* similar. People who respond to spam beget more spam, and people who respond to flamebait / troll posts beget more of those posts.
Basically, it's not worth your time to respond, as that is exactly what these folks are looking for.
