<you and Irwin Jacobs do NOT have the same agenda. >

Well, there are some differences. For example my children aren't his, therefore our interests instantly diverge at the most basic level. But in trustworthiness [honesty] and ethics I rate him highly. I don't agree that pro-forma results and stock options show anything untoward in an ethical or honesty sense, though I agree with your position on the effect of those on the financial position 'going forward', as they say. Sure, some things maybe should or shouldn't be in the pro-forma as PCSTEL says. But investors should be looking beyond such general guidance numbers.

However, like any tribe we have interests in common. People can never have identical agendas and interests. But the success of huge corporations, universities, societies and countries proves that shared interests are a very, very major aspect of life and being successful.

Communists tried combining those interests forcibly and ended up destroyed because they omitted the key component of voluntary association. Countries tend to do that to and confiscate people's property - the more they confiscate, they less likely the people are to do as well as the free societies.

Speaking politically,
