About Yahoo advertising: I believe that Yahoo intentionally allows SPAM on their message boards. Investors probably open an extra 20% of pages that way. Seems like 20% more advertising. But really it just gets people mad, and more in the habit of ignoring advertising. And it diminishes the use of the resource, because people are tired of SPAM. Another problem, if you ever do hit the banner ads, it seems that 90% of the time you get passed to a site with animation, etc, that either crashes your system, does not load, or takes forever to load. Yahoo, should go ahead and charge $7/month for "premium service." It should buy Silicon Investor to get the software to better display new messages people are interested in. They could do it. I'll go back to lurking now. Yahoo at $7 or more would be a compelling buy for me. Not saying it will get there.
