  Who, except for industry insiders, really cares? Is that the constituency of this site?

  Yes, industry insiders are part of the constituency of this site.

  Considering that this story is dominating techmeme and seems to be at the top of just about every tech related site... uh, yeah, I'd say a lot of people care, including the constituency of this site. This is pretty big news.

  Using the comment ability to question what constitutes the assumed content of of this site is getting old.
  
  The Internet is big, go find a site that you feel more comfortable reading.

  Yahoo

  I doubt that anyone outside of Wall Street or who gets their paycheck from Yahoo really gives much of a damn what happens to them. They don't offer anything that you can't get elsewhere(usually meaning Google). Pioneers, which Yahoo certainly was, often fall by the wayside, left behind by those who never would have existed had it not been for them. So it goes. I never even think of them in reference to search, Ask is where it's at when Google isn't enough. Google beats the hell out of them for web-based mail. These guys really need something, or they're going to end up like Detroit, a forgotten shadow of former glory. Nobody misses Plymouth, and nobody will miss Yahoo.

  Jerry has not been CEO of Y! since before TK arrived in 1995 (pre-IPO), calling this a return is a huge overstatement. I think Jerry was Y! CEO for about 6 months, 12 years ago.

  Meta-commenting

  I love the fact that some anonymoron can stir up discontent.
  
  Frankly, I think it's interesting that the MBA assumption that the founder can't run a company is being proven a huge failure time (Apple) after time (Dell) after time (Yahoo).

  What? I'd have to disagree with your first example there.
