I have no idea what Paul was working on at Facebook, but I believe the timing has to be coincidental, because we drove it. The reason this had to get announced today is that interviews for w2011 start on Monday.

Well, he was at FB at least 1 year, so there was some vesting I assume? Not entirely incidental, is it?
