Not splitting hairs. I think it's important for everyone to know where all the cash is coming from. If it's coming from shareholders, then that's a pretty solid case for making sure you aren't recording those distortions in your free cash flow numbers. So that actually bolsters your case. However, nowadays I think it's demonstrable that most cash inflows are coming from core operations rather than stock options exercises, which means the numbers are fairly solid.
