Chuzzlewit, With all due respect, thanks for the info, however ALL internet companies are using stock options as means of compensation for their employees. You will find that employees prefer it that way and consequently will work harder, to potentially realize the same success regular employees at Microsoft and Dell have enjoyed over the last few years. How many Dellionaire secretaries are working at Dell due to the stocks performance? stock options as compensation are OLD news. You are probably right with your assertion that it clouds the "true" operating costs of a company, but to apply traditional ways of accounting in todays tax age, would be, well "stupid". Thanks for the 411, but I see no future problem IN IT. <<gg>> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Marketguide: Common Stock $.01 Par, 7/99, 200M auth., 41,396,085 issd. insiders own 2%. Web Hosting Organization LLC owns 61%, Matthew Wolf (was Interliant Texas)owns 10%, Softbank Technology Ventures IV, L.P. owns 8%. The company reports no Short term or Long term debt. Per Renaissance IPO research: Interliant, this roll-up of Web hosting and related services companies plans a big marketing push in 1999 in order to establish a national brand name in value-priced service. While the group is hot and it looks cheap compared to its peers, issues are its low internal growth, management conflicts and lack of operating history. Rico
