> I've been distracted and wasn't able to follow the intricacies of the options discussion. Can someone summarize whether the EPS growth as the company has reported to date accurately reflects the company's growth? Has Wind been accounting for the options expense on an accrual basis through share buy-backs? Or is there some confusion/disagreement about the topic? Peter, I only know what I've read here on this thread, so take this with a grain of salt. I believe there is some confusion/disagreement about the topic. Allen Benn, whom I respect greatly, has defended WIND's policy of awarding options but has not, to my reading, explained how the options should be treated in calculating true EPS.
