    That wasn't a rumor; There was a discussion, but it never materialized. Large-caps don't jump 10% on mere gossip.

    but then yahoo's answer was pretty straight! they are saying there is nothing in the rumors!

    i don't think this is gossip, i have seen this news in papers world wide, even the tv channels were pretty happy to announce all this rubbish!

    yahoo is saying it was rumors, not gossip! lol:D

    but then the matter is clear now, everything was false, yahoo is not selling:D

    "Rumor" is synonymous with "gossip."
    Anyway, you're right; The discussion is dead now.

    yes, but i wont trust the CS too much. usually the deal with that much money will be kept secret by the board of directors until the deal is actually made.

    Customer service staffs are just ordinary staff several lines below the main chain of command and they are not allowed to discuss about issues like that with the customers. :)

    i hope so! i know coustomer care people are usually several posts below the managenment, but people at coustomer care of yahoo!! can't be guessing! they must have asked there managers before replying to me,

    it took them about 3-4 days to answer me, usually they answer a question in about 24-48 hours! i think they have done some serious discussions before answering my question,:rolleyes:

    Well of course. They put the email in the middle of the desk and said


    "Gentlemen, I think they are on to us. How do we handle this!"

    How would the staff know? I mean business in this kind of volume is not negotiable with a staff's comment.

    Wait and see

    At least a message like this must come from some higher ups.
