Patron - while I understand all of these points, I take MAJOR exception that "repricing options realigns the interests of employees with those of shareholders". I believe it rewards inept management at the EXPENSE of shareholders. Recruitment should be unaffected, most option grants occur once or twice a year and are based on the current prices at the time of the grant...therefore it's in the interest of new employees to have the stock price DOWN at the time of the options grant. After all, there's no place to go but UP at the point (to paraphrase Jon Joseph<G>). I would greatly prefer that you didn't quote things that I didn't say. I suspect that we agree that the most negative effect of re-pricing is the effective 'Greenspan Put' that it produces. Regards, Don
