Did Yahoo sell out to Microsoft?

Question

I tried writing DIRECTLY to Yahoo to ask if they were going to sell to Microsoft, telling them I'd rather PAY for my email account, a good $10.00 a month, which I've had since the year 2,000, than have Microsoft buy Yahoo. But, unlike their usual helpful answers, they sidestepped the question, didn't answer me yes or no, pointed me to Yahoo Answers, which is just other people speculating on the issue. But there must be SOME way to find out the truth!!!

Answer 1

No, they did not go through with it.

Answer 2

Apparently not yet, because Yahoo hasn't started crashing every 5 minutes.
