A lot of the conspiracy theory here is based on Google's IPO. Can anyone point me to a statement from Google that they are actually having on IPO?

I stand to be corrected, but I do not think that I have seen any such statement - there has obviously been a lot (actually more than a lot) of speculation that has the idea taken on a life of it own and become fact ... funny thing the internet :-)

BTW - I think they should have one and it probably makes business sense from Google's point of view
