I think there is huge potential and great people at Yahoo!, I just want to see it realized. I have a bad attitude a fair amount of time but I wonder what it will take to get Yahoo! back to more nimbleness/kick-assness... Ken, I always wanted to work for/with you. Maybe I can at least get a bike ride with you. One day... Scott,
