LOL !! - Barry hasn't a "clue", that is for sure!!!

Yahoo's results & the fact that CEO Semel sees flat growth in Q3 and beyond, are reason enough to want to learn & understand, why this is so ..... IMO

I'll remind everyone ..... That .... Yes!! ..... Publishers ARE fighting back !!!! - AD spend for FY 2005 is at projected record highs. (Est. $13 - $14 Billion) - But will be spent ELSEWHERE, as we will see, in time.

"Bashers" blindly fail to want to discuss LOOK's "new" involvement with Publishers and accept, that all that has been written on the 'changes' happening in this sector, can & will provide the much needed revenues for LOOK, in due course.

Or, is it a case of, simply NOT understanding??

"Blinkered" ??? - Surely .... I mean, the 'dogs are barking' of the 'change' reality, that is already upon us. But then again, it has even taken "old" Rupert Murdoch this long to, 'wake up' ...

Take this Co here, as an example:

Knight Ridder (NYSE: KRI) is the nation's second-largest newspaper publisher, with products in print and online. The company publishes 31 daily newspapers in 28 U.S. markets, with a readership of 8.7 million daily and 12.6 million Sunday.

Knight Ridder Digital, develops and manages the company's online properties. It is the founder and operator of Real Cities (www.RealCities.com), the largest national network of city and regional Web sites in more than 100 U.S. markets. Knight Ridder and Knight Ridder Digital are headquartered in San Jose, Calif.

And smuggler & Co have the 'hide', to call David Hills a DILL for alligning LOOK with such enterprises ????

It's time people 'woke up' to the fact, (& they will) that these Publishers are fighting back and WILL be most successful, for sure!!
