I! Could! Hardly!

read the article. The lack of exclamatory punctuation in the title caused me no little discomfort. Please be more careful in future Yahoo! related postings.

I use bing all of the time....

because it powers Microsofts 'change your default search provider' service, hence, I use it once for every new IE8 installation.....sucks to be counted that way.
