No one's going to cry if I stop editing... but I am not by any means the only person unhappy with the behaviour of Facebook; hell, Aaron Sorkin got an Oscar for dramatizing why you *should* be concerned about it. And they're a very large private corporation, resorting to financial subterfuge to *continue* to stay private; I see no reason WMF should commingle its destiny with theirs.
