Not sure why you'd care, but it seems pretty clear to me that the option-expensing crusaders are out to stamp out greed, unethical behavior, and/or double-entry bookkeeping. Which of the three do you think they'll succeed at? Your words - "just creating the junk out of thin air" - hit the nail on the head. They want to create an expense out of thin air, and none of the crusaders can answer the simple question I asked at least a week ago - what is the offsetting debit to keeps the books in balance after you conjure this expense (credit)? PS: Can I give back the options and get the million dollars? ;-)
