Perhaps I wasn't clear. I was simply saying that I did take a hard look

after-the-fact, that I figured out that it was even possible that my
monetary compensation would be in the realm where I would be grinning
from ear to ear, instead of simply happy and making a good living. :)
You're totally right -- you did say that. My apologies if I
misrepresented you there; I was more agreeing with Magnus than disputing
your decision-making process.
It's just a matter of considering which
icing you'd rather have, a few extra K guaranteed per year, or a really
awesome group of guys to work with and the possibility of huge
truckloads of cash. :)
Sergey and Larry are the ones with the huge truckloads of cash. The
opportunity for huge truckloads of cash is not to be found at a post-IPO
company. ;)
