Maybe, but I think your bitterness clouds your judgment. This issue is disclosure of the terms, ie at what price exercisable and the relationship of those terms to accomplishments that are in control of the executive. "Expensing" options is just a stupid concept. It doesn't cost the company a dime to issue the options. And Barrett points out that the method to be used is stupid partly because it is being proposed by people in power, much like some of the people on this thread who post buzzword arguments with no concept of the theory of corporate tax and accounting. And, if I may, let me point out that you sucked much information off this thread and then dumped BOTH Cisco and Intel without so much as a helpful warning of your views. With disingenuousness like that why in the world should we listen to ANYTHING you post now? But I mean that in the nicest possible way.
