Yahoo's CEO Is A Repuke Supporter

[specimenfred1984]

Has anyone wondered why the majority of Yahoo boards have been non-functional since Rovegate broke?

--- Some have speculated that it is simply the midlife folly of an ambitious man casting about for something new to do. Sources say Semel hosted a fund-raiser for presidential candidate George W. Bush--an unusually high-profile show of Republican support in the militantly liberal entertainment industry--sparking speculation that he was angling for an ambassadorial appointment. ---

1. Extremely disappointing

One of the co-founders, David Filo, is a good democrat. He still owns a huge chunk of the stock, 12% or more.

I'm very disappointed that he has ceded so much control over the philosophy of the company he co-founded with Jerry Yang.

2. YahooGroups - thousands of them: most really frozen now?

wow, big event if so.

PS i tend to ignore CEO's and focus on owners as the source of policy. What are the views of the current main owners of Y?

PS i have been impressed in the past by the wide range of views in Y groups.

3. My YahooGroups are not frozen

Don't know about others, but my three (non-political I will add) are just fine.

4. I Don't Post in Any Groups, Just Message Boards

So I don't know about the groups. Many of the message boards are down, allowing no posts and/or no rec'd.
