Oh, I have no desire to debate either, needless to say. On the media, who we all know are just trying to sell advertising, why don't you just write a letter to Forbes, that well known Commie rag, straightening them out. I'm sure your superior knowledge would be appreciated by readers of the Capitalist Tool.

As for cursing you out? Poor Reggie. I guess this is an improvement over allegedly threatening violence. I called you a loon, and said I was a loon for arguing with you. Plus one regrettable obscenity, not to be confused with profanity. Want me to dig up some context on that one too? Binding precedents, DOJ has determined Microsoft has done nothing wrong, all that? I'm trying to be less loony these days.

You want to explain, concisely and clearly, why the figures

Microsoft Total options allocation: 44.83% 1996-97 grant rate* 4.45%

are wrong, or irrelevant, or don't translate into the $30billion necessary for your employee buyout, go ahead, I won't debate you. Otherwise, perhaps you should quit telling other people they don't know what they're talking about. I for one have never said that employee options were some horrible thing for Microsoft, just an interesting piece of the puzzle.

Cheers, Dan.
