LOL...I think you need to check out HMGP as the company that regrets going public. Not sure whether your assertion of shares to employees has any merit either, except to perhaps a limited degree...pure speculation at this time. Got to agree though that many small companies have management that's good at one thing or another. My preference is for them to build the company, and I dare say, work out in the "field", than to be "slick" with the pr, promote, pump and dump, etc.
