Since I did not take a stance on Mr. Dunlop but only posed questions to be answered how can you take issue with it? In fact my questions would lead one to believe I favor an investigation to the cost/benefit of his contributions from an objective standpoint.

It's perfectly acceptable to bring your concerns into a public forum, in fact desirable to air ideas and hear counter arguments. On that note, Budde has already clearly articulated the facts and circumstances leading up to Dunlap's sale of INTC stock. For you to continue to paint this as a less than one day hold with a profit of over $10 million is disingenuous and, frankly, fruitless since the true situation has been revealed. Of course you are free to question the size (and the reasons) of the option package given to him initially.

As to the value of director's contributions and specifically Pottruck's situation, well I too would always be interested in a detailed account of the 'value' of their contributions and again let us weigh this with respect to the options granted. On its face it appears many co's directors do precious little.* But anyone feel free to disabuse me of this notion, I am always willing to listen and learn.
