Joe, I don't think we're so naive........the issue of expensing options has been cussed and discussed many times on various SI threads over the past couple of years. I think we all recognize the problem, but how do we do anything about it? Unfortunately we don't make the accounting rules. Perhaps Wall St., in its new-found ethics-leadership role, can help us. But then, if Wall St. was so cognizant of these earnings discrepancies, how come they weren't sounding the warnings years ago. They remind me of Hollywood, preaching one thing, practicing another.
