If Yahoo accepts Bill Gates $44.6 bn offer to buy Yahoo how much should we in Yahoo Answers get?

According to today's news Microsoft have offered $44.6bn to take over Yahoo to improve its image. According to the BBC, a British industrialist has stated "the bid smacks of desperation by microsoft who have consistently failed to achieve a meaningful on line presence". We all know Yahoo has achieved worldwide success with its Yahoo Answers service which totally beats the competition like Google, Wikianswers, Answerbag and Lycos IQ. If bid goes through therefore, do you think everybody in Yahoo Answers should therefore be rewarded by this offer from one of world's richest men to buy us and if so how much should we each get. Would one USA cent per point scored by each Yahoo Answer member, which would mean $2.50c on reaching Level Two and increasing amounts for reaching higher levels be a fair payment for all of us creating the meaningful on line presence we provide which Microsoft now wants to acquire?

If Yahoo accepts Bill Gates $44.6 bn offer to buy Yahoo how much should we in Yahoo Answers get?
Yes. It is apparent the reason Microsoft want to acquire Yahoo is because it has "a meaningfull presence on the internet" So Microsoft is indeed willing to part with $44,600,000,000,000 for us to be part of them. All of us in Yahoo Answers have surely made a big contribution to the success of Yahoo and that could be why Yahoo is more attractive to Bill Gates than Google or AOL etc..? So we should be rewarded. I go along with 1 cent per point per member, which means we get 2 cents per answer and 10 cents for every Best Answer. This would be just small change for Bill Gates but I'm sure many who work hard on their Answers would welcome a bit of extra cash for helping make Yahoo such a success story - lol .
Reply:we made them good and now we get nothing...well, maybe we will all be blessed with a few violations...
Reply:Why should we get anything? How much stock do you own in Yahoo? I don't own any, so I don't expect anything.
Reply:nope. And instead of buying a vowel, go to the Punctuation store. That was officially the longest run-on ever!
Reply:Ha, ha. You wish :-)
Reply:I think we should get a share.
Reply:a discount on a new coumputer would be nice!!
Reply:We should be given $44.6 billion Yahoo Answer Points.

Reply:oh no and ruin it like they did with VISTA
Reply:Bill Gates didn't get rich by giving his money away for no good reason.
Reply:We should get £2 for every point we have :)
