OT ... Lizzie, re "You mean [ed: Vinod Khosla] thinks it will help small, startup companies in india." No, and you are not trying harder to comprehend. The article's only mention of India was in conjunction with a John Doerr statement. Specifically, ... "Expensing [ed: stock options] won't help the nation's competitive position as it confronts challenges from fast-growing countries like China and India, [ed: John Doerr] said. " John Doerr says "expensing stock options *won't* help", and you think it means "not expensing stock options *will* help". Well, logically they don't mean the same thing at all. Isn't precise logic a requirement in the software industry these days? Ron

If you recall, Lizzie, I told you months ago that there was internal disagreement at Kleiner Perkins regarding the stock options expensing issue. Rather than listen, you chose instead to attack my credibility.
