btw: monkey IS going to Harp on the American thing. It really, really, really pisses me off. The guy did it for the 'tax advantages' - after having gotten the BEST EDUCATION in the world, courtesy of USA, having PRIVATE PROPERY .... courtesy of USA, having THE FREEDOM TO START A BUSINESS, such FREEDOM being paid for in blood by the VOLUNTEER men and women in the US MILITARY, having the protection of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY that this country affords businesses like his - protected by the Courts and Just (ie honourable) law enforcement entities in this country - and a WHOLE HOST of OTHER 'bennies' - bought and paid for by the CITIZENS OF THE USA - bennies that HE benefitted from.

That makes him nothing more than a high priced crook. Glad the market reacted the way it did to the IPO of FB.
