Nice post Master Jedi

I hope that it's the "or not" option. I've never been one to support the biggest guy, and I've always liked Yahoo for their non-conformist fun attitude. So for anyone who doesn't support Microsoft in their bid for Yahoo, how about supporting Yahoo for your searches. It's not like Yahoo is all that less effective than Google at finding stuff online.

I'm sick of Yahoo! toolbars installing by default.
