Tom, you are a nice man.
Jacob family don't have to play this conversion game. They can let ALU own 100% f*.com. Since they are largest shareholders of ALU, they will benefit from a successful f*.com IPO as well as other ALU shareholders, like you and me. The only reason they play this conversion game is that they want more shares of f*.com (or say, they want other ALU share holders has less shares of f*.com). I am not blaming them. I just wonder how much they really want.

Right on Tom. You posted exactly what I was going to post. I have seen what Venture capitalists expect for funding small startup biotech companies and its a a hell of a lot more than the Jacob's are getting. Its the nature of the game. More startups crash than make it and in the end the Venture capitalists generally only average about 25-30% return on their money. Its the price one has to pay to get over the initial startup hump!
