I sure hope Jerry Yang and the Yahoo! Board of Directors know what they are doing. These are rich folks on the board and may not be able to see things through the eyes of the everyday shareholder.

Personally, I think they made the wrong decision to not accept Microsoft’s $33/share offer this weekend. I honestly think it is a case of “I would rather have the ship sink than be with the “Evil Empire”….well, that wish might just come true. I hope not.

Steve Ballmer’s letter to Jerry Yang is very interesting…and the response.

And how does Google feel??????
