I doubt that Dick Kraber can give you a satisfactory answer to your questions in a public forum.

It is not my place to speak for Mr. Greene (any more than it is your place to speak for Mr. Kraber), but he did explictly state in his post that the submitted these questions to Mr. Kraber in private over a week ago.

Why should investors feel niggardly toward the very people breaking their necks to make the company successful

That reads like something a politician would say. :-) "Anybody who questions my policies is obviously a dirty rotten scoundrel who believes..."

Additional detail in annual reports about outstanding stock options is useful for helping investors decide if a company is too exuberant granting options.

Yes. And if you review Mr. Greene's letter, you will see that he is asking for WIND's input to clarify that very matter.

How management decides to allocate capital is something a sophisticated investor considers. The questions posed to that end are deserving of an answer - from WIND. Asking (or challenging) towards getting an understanding is not something which calls for a defense or for the best possible spin to be put on things.

And no matter how you dress it up, the statement of cash flows in the annual report shows a significant percentage going to repurchase shares.

Share count subsided for the fiscal year just ended due to repurchases of stock.

How did you come up with that? or maybe I should be asking what is your definition of subsiding?
