Claude, I was just reviewing the ANO.to proxy materials.

As a matter of practice, I virtually always vote against option plans. Management always grants way too many options at the expense of shareholders. My vote normally doesn't matter, but it's a matter of principle.

In 2003 ANO approved an option plan which diluted shareholders by 12%. Now they want another plan since there aren't enough options left ungranted.

The only thing which gives me pause is the new option plan is dilutive by "only" 3%.

Do you have any thoughts on this?
