Is this just my memory playing tricks with me or was there really some overlap? )I don't have access to BoD-history at the moment.) // Johan V, Stockholm Hi,

ISTR that there was some Board of Directors overlap between Yahoo and Google (maybe Kleiner-Perkins people) by the time Yahoo acquired Overture and that I was thinking that this is going to be an issue down the road. Is this just my memory playing tricks with me or was there really some overlap? )I don’t have access to BoD-history at the moment.)
