I didn't mean it that way. In the past they were able to do this which distorts the #'s reported in the past to today. Note if you pick up a company P&L they report "pro forma" and then they have another P&L which is GAP.

Its the pro forma where they really game the #'s. Of course they try with GAAP too just a lesser extent.
