Two points:

A) Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

B) The point of my posting the link wasn't to remind anyone of the personal history. It was that as a business decision, Facebook not accepting Yahoo's buyout offer looked brilliant in 2006 and 2007, but now looks questionable (at best). Who knows what Yahoo can or can't afford at this point, let alone $100 per user.

I think Zuckerberg is pretty adamantly against selling. Money or no money, he's currently got the keys to the one web site that every college student is coming to rely on. That gives him a lot of power, and it gives him a lot of leeway with trying to make money. So, as of right now, he's still in a pretty good position.
