KIS - Is it fair to assume that you didn't read to the end? None of the above should be misconstrued to say that option grants are not greatly abused. They are, but the problem is not with the option grants per se, but rather with the use of stock buybacks at any price to disguise the share dilution. This is where accounting should be looking for remediation, along with making sure that option grants are fully reflected in the reported share count dilution, possibly even 100% at time of grant until void. There is clearly a major inherent conflict of interest between management and shareholders when it comes to compensation of all types. Regards, Don
