You can include or exclude extraordinary items as you please. That's not an issue with me.

The very next paragraph reads:

By all accounts, Yahoo's numbers were stellar no matter how you looked at them, and the practice of separating unusual charges from net income is a standard accounting procedure.

Better yet, just consider share of audience, top-line growth rates and free cash flow...really the only numbers that count. Page views and cash don't lie. Yahoo is on an absolute tear. There is no financial or growth metric where Yahoo is challenged by any other dot-com.

Under current circumstances, searching for holes in Yahoo's story is a waste of money.
