<< but treating this sort of dilution as if it is a simple expense is, in my opinion, just wrong. >> This is my opinion as well. The fact that Tom is cashing in shares that he got as the founder is not an "expense" that should have any impact to current earnings. This accounting change would have a false effect on earnings as a result of cashing out options that had tremendous gains in the tech boom. This is not a real expense and should have no bearing on the value of a company going forward. You must value a company on its business and financial prospects going forward, not some left over effect of the bubble that has a unique one-time effect on imaginary earnings calculations. IMO, Dave
