Logan, I like your virtual posts because you're stubborn. Put your chin out, as it were. And it's not on my list to put it back in place. I don't believe I have the talent or the power to do so. The deal about stock options is, of course, well known. Michael Dell gets paid less than $1M per year, but makes it up on options, which never hits P&L. Same with Chambers @ CSCO. And Gates @ MSFT. And Wetherell @ CMGI. But AG seems to think that it's immaterial in relation to reported P&L, overall, because of the expensed items which probably should have been capitalized... I'm not justifing CMGI's market performance. It is what it is. I'm agreeing that the media does over react and misquote. You're not testing me, n'est-ce pas? IMO, we'll probably give back another 25 basis points in October. But I'm just not prepared to invest in bonds at this time. Doesn't mean you shouldn't go there. It's just not right for me. Mark A. Peterson
