miki....
you misinterpreted well meaning inquisitiveness for a personal attack. Yes, I did get a little hot under the collar when you stated that the options weren't free. My response was "why not issue them to the long suffering SH's and it will achieve the same revenue" (I still have a hard time justifying reward for failure)
Your comment that "management would have to pay tax on their options" left me speechless. I am still at a loss to know what benefit that would bring to the company.

Regarding Factor This' suspension. I was of the impression that he had been shelved for cumulative transgressions against HC policy. His last post was modded before I read it. So, if what you say is correct and there was threat of physical violence, then my bad. I don't condone threats.

Take this post as an olive branch. I still don't agree with some of your ideas, especially the option issue but that's history now so I'll get over it and move on.
