No problem, I get your point about nobody noticing. Could be.
From memory though, I thought they recognized Exec comp on an infrequent basis, and not every quarter. I want to go back through the old reports and see if I am remembering this correctly.
If that is the case, then a plug in value may or may not be needed in this particular version, and could have been a sloppy left over. Of course this begs the question of process maturity, but that's another topic.
