No one has seemed particularly interested.
I will say this, because despite my settlement agreement, I can: the whole Facebook controversy--what has indirectly become of my initial work on a fully integrated portal for Harvard students--is an enormous tragedy for everyone, not just for me. Mark's Facebook has distorted so many aspects of our society. The media circus of one claimant after another; the filing, counter-filing, hearsay, "non-fiction" books, "fictional" movies, etc. has detracted from the actual story based on factual evidence to the point where it's hard not to feel sympathy for Mark. Yet no one who values creativity and strives to be an entrepreneur should feel sympathy for Mark.
I don't know anything about Paul Ceglia other than the fact that he appears incredibly untrustworthy. And yet, despite not being convicted criminals, I wouldn't trust the Winklevosses and Divya Narendra, either. Nor would I trust Eduardo Saverin or any of the other co-founders. I trust Mark least of all.
All of this is to say that you can do linguistic analysis on Mark's writing style all day. It doesn't matter; Mark will be fine and Paul Ceglia was apparently already in a lot of trouble. The vast majority of people I hear talking about this have completely failed to learn anything from it. In fact, we've put Mark and others like him up on a pedestal, and it's really quite sad.
