So if microsoft get hold of yahoo.. we say goodbye to our pages being index by yahoo then...

Google will rule even more.

Hopefully, If Microsoft take over they may make Yahoo more stronger. Google will have some good competition and may calm down on their strict rules.

Our pages will continue to be indexed hopefully

I have been saying for the last 6 months that MSN will be the leader and this is one of the final steps.

Why shouldn't they rule??? They are the King!

Google who???
