OT .. Kirk, re >>>I still think if everyone showed up at conference calls and asked the CEO and CFO this simple question "If you did not have to buy back shares to prevent dilution by options, what dividend per share could you have paid shareholders with that cash?"<<< The CEO and CFO might retort ... "If we didn't compensate our employees with options, we would have to compensate them with additional cash in order to remain competitive in the labor market. Then how much cash do you think we'd have with which to pay the dividends you desire?" Ron
