If you look at the job description in the memo (rather than giddily skip to the ice-cream-in-bed-with-Kindle part), you'll find that Brown's responsibilities are mostly within the corpcomm-related functions at Yahoo. His years at NetApp, and Adaptec before that, <i>absolutely</i> primed him for this. No question. FWIW, I had the pleasure of working with Eric when I was in Silicon Valley. (He was my supervisor at one firm and my client at another.) I can confidently say that, in my fourteen-ish years doing PR, he is one of the most savvy and thoughtful practitioners I've thus far encountered in this business. (I can still say this having long forgiven him for the occassional dig at my mode-of-dress in the workplace back then.) Yahoo's in good hands. With respect, I think that Mr. Tillman is being unfair.
