Again, forget the emails, forget the IR lackey........if you don't send the message in a certified letter, signature required, to specific members of the BOD then your message will never ever get sent up the line. I will ask a direct question "Will my letter be read or sent to the BOD?" If not, we can ask if your method will work. They can always refuse to sign or return it... I think we need to find a way to get shareholders represented on the BOD by way of people who are retired or not employed by the industry so there is no conflict of interest due to "I'll over pay you at your CEO job if you as a member of my BOD agree to over pay me today." BTW, I have no problem with the money and think Splinter is worth every penny. I just think the way they did it sucks and will hurt AMATs case to not expense options in the long run which will hurt AMAT in the long run. In short, it was an idiotic move and they should hire some "independent consultants" such as Brian and myself to review these decisions before they make them in the future. Kirk
