jon...Define "screwed us". He's never stated officially what the O/S is as far as I know. Retiring shares could very well be misleading, but still not illegal. FWIW, I'd bet that you will soon learn the A/S has jumped again. JMO, of course.
I disagree, I see the O/S as a credibility issue, one that is fundamental to the future of this company. IF the O/S is high Urban screwed us, you have to admit that. When we last reported we had 40 billion O/S, he put out press releases stating shares were being retired, and the IR guy for the company stated PUBLICLY the O/S wasn't that high.
