It's not Gomez who wrote the piece, but rather John Robb. Here's his bio from the GomezWire site: John Robb is routinely cited as an expert in Internet technology and emerging technology markets. He has had direct influence on the fortunes of Internet giants Yahoo, PointCast, Netscape, and Microsoft -- advising them on growth strategies, new technologies, personalization and marketing. His quotes in the press include most major technology publications as well as The Economist, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Prior to founding Gomez Advisors, John served as the senior Internet technology analyst for Forrester Research. While there, John received awards for original research and developed what are considered Forrester's top technology ideas for 1995 (Internet Computing), 1996 (Personal Broadcasting), and 1997 (Intelligent Interactivity). In addition to Forrester, John was consultant at Gartner Group and is also a highly decorated former Air Force officer who served seven years as a command pilot as part of United States Air Force Special Operations. His academic credentials include an MPPM from Yale University and a Bachelor of Science in Astronautical Engineering from the United States Air Force Academy.

Let's see... is that 18 or 19 posts flaming Gomez? Getting a bit defensive? All he did (actually, all his associate did...) was comment on potential threats to this sacred cow called Yahoo. You'd think he had slandered the Pope. Hey, he's a consultant. He works for a living. No time to sip little umbrella drinks on the beach like all you guys. But, did the chief of Softbank call you guys when he was looking to invest $400 million in an online brokerage? Noooo! He called Gomez. But keep up the flames. It's a good indicator of your comfort holding YHOO at these levels. Thou dost protest too much! Bob PS: jawd, is that your big 'asset' pictured in your profile?
