That isn't your point but that was my impression. Rick: It does read to me like a personal attack even though you do have some positive information in there.

My issue isn't with Albert and his embellishments rather with his nonsense about Canada and this notion that Canada isn't a great place for start ups. It's false. While I may privately care and I'm sure the actual founders care, the bigger picture is as exactly as you point out, getting more start up action in Canada. That was the bulk of my post. Jesse,

Rick may have missed the point, if Albert inspired just a handful of people to try a startup then who cares if he claimed to have been behind Facebook? We need more media darlings/whores/etc and less negative gossip. It is very Canadian to attack the people in the spotlight.
