I have always enjoyed yahoo's market basket of goods and services from the early days of free email to the sheer magnitude of websites and services bought over the years. Keep up the great and realistic capitalistic approach to the 'web business' as a business :-) The Microsoft offer seems to make sense to me as an advertiser. I hope that your two companies join because selfishly I feel some advertising opportunities are left out because of the sheer glut of options. Capitalisim is the ultimate equalizer and may the best companies win! I would like to applaud the efforts of Yahoo in their realistic approach to their role in the internet eco system.

Don't sell out to Microsoft. Gates has said that he would own the internet someday, and he just keeps pushing for that end. Please, to don't sell out on us. After your roast by the press regarding the China incident, your popularity may have suffered. Hang tight. Your appologized now help the Chinese community to adjust to life in the US, or help our Asian neighbors visit their families more freely, or have better access to the internet to allow contact with countrymen back in the motherland. You don't have to do such things with a lot of fanfare, just do them earnestly. I'm sure you must have done so already. I like this article about "Technology for Good" and I wish I could help.
