Irwin: Yours is a much more clever spin than Paul could do.

Your comparison, however, is not fair. You included the 15 million shares issued to Thomas Lee and associates in the 3Q98 count, while they didn't exist in the 3Q97 count. Since these shares were issued in exchange for debt and not in acquisitions, it seems more appropriate to either exclude them from the 3Q98 count or to add them to the 3Q97 count (even they weren't actually issued until 4Q97).

Ignoring the 15 million shares in both quarters, revenues per share were $2.38 and $2.15 for 3Q98 and 3Q97, respectively.

Including the 15 million shares in both quarters, revenues per share were $2.04 and $1.75 for 3Q98 and 3Q97, respectively.
