Guru, You must have some pull with YHOO -- it seems like they like to give you headlines. BTW, the drinking part of the post wasn't up there on the front page, just the other part with the link. I guess maybe they didn't like that part? Re: your Softbank info., it still seems to me that the main Softbank-related info is probably from E*TRADE and Geocities, which do have every logical reason to advertise on YHOO and on other portals. Also, it is not unusual for media outlets that are part of larger company groups to include income that comes from related entities without making a big deal about it. On a large scale, you see that with NBC/GE and of course with Disney/ABC etc. (the Disney example is about to be extended to their new portal, and doesn't NBC have a portal too?). And here in Chicago and other major cities, Tribune Co. has all sorts of interlocks in its revenue streams. Should WGN-TV discount its ad revenues from Cubs games because Tribune owns both? Of course, YHOO's market cap is about 4 times as high as Tribune's, which makes no sense to me. But that's another story. MAD DOG
