I could post a long drawn out analysis on why I think it is pointless. Going public serves a couple of purposes, to try to an get an overvaluation of your company and be worth more on 'paper' with selling restrictions, etc... or to gain capital from your IPO to follow through on a specific plan of 'spending' to execute your business plan.
In adult there is really no huge expenditures where that kind of capital should be necessary, secondly, why do you need to appear rich on paper when you can just take the massive profits your company throws off and invest and save?
Please, those of you educated on going public, don't analyze my comments too deeply, this is a just a brush by answer.
I took my company 3/4 of the way public and learned a GREAT deal about the process and the motives.
