<<At 50 that's 200,000,000 dollars. How much did he originally have. What's he doing on the board if he is dumping his stock. Does this sound like a conflict of interest at worse, and at best, STUPID. Would you hire an advisor who is simultaneously selling you short. AND AT EXACTY THE RIGHT TIME???>>

Manire's and Cowell's huge options came from USR - 3Com had to take them as part of the acquisition, along with their golden parachutes. USR richly rewarded their top 10 as compared to the masses - much different than 3Com.

3Com's practice is more in line with industry standards - when 3Com repriced options several years ago for the employees the executive committee was excluded.
