I voted the yellow proxy for Icahn’s slate to replace Yahoo’s board of directors. The day after the annual meeting and vote, I received in the mail a letter from Yahoo stating that the yellow proxy would be discarded as a result of the settlement with Icahn. Also, included was a new white proxy to vote. Problem was that this was received AFTER THE VOTING HAD TAKEN PLACE! Another ‘coincidental accident’?

Interesting how people continue to have difficulties accepting results when they don’t get what they wanted. Only because many of us shareholders don’t roam the Media doesn’t mean we don’t have a voice. Why do you – major sharholders – not like to hear our voice? Aside from thinking “share price” we also think “community” that is of value when reviewing our engagement with Yahoo! Why does Microsoft want Yahoo! – Answer: Because of the user base, the millions of people producing millions of page views,valuable ads inventory. If Yahoo goes to Mr. Softy, people, the community, the value, will instantly go away. Did you hear how individual shareholder characterized Mr. Softy at the meeting? Why is it so difficult to accept a vote? Does democracy count for anything in this country? it better!
