Yang should really be more careful about declaring 'Overwhelming support' of Yahoo! shareholders after preliminary results are announced. At least wait until the votes are verified. Propriety is rarely as simple as propriety, a large part of it is the appearance of propriety. Now you have shareholders who are angry AND who feel that there may be some issues of impropriety with respect to corporate governance.
