Sure - it doesn't give any specific explanation for the format

I originally posted it on OTC, plus the link to investor relations at 
Yahoo:

http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/comment.cfm

which I still recommend we use if we get no joy down this route. 

I can tell you journalists will adore a 'Yahoo upsets 17000 Harry 
Potter fans' story. Should make the front page of most newspapers and 
sites in the run up to July 16th.
