Sorry, brad. i wasn't implying that you did not. but, there are obviously a few here that do not understand what comprises the OS.
Here's another conundrum for you. Friday i posted that i would call the TA on Monday to get the AS, OS, Float and Restricted #s first hand. i was immediately told I was calling 4He a liar, which i didn't and had even posted that I didn't think any problem lied with either him or the TA. As of Friday the ibox listed the OS as just under 15B, coinciding with the Float + Restricted, as it should.
To my surprise, tonight the ibox shows the OS as 19,968,578,256, as of 9/14/09. Thats 5 Billion more than the sum of the Float (13,833,983,958) and Restricted (1,134,594,248). Something is clearly amiss. Thinking that maybe i misread the ibox Friday, I've checked with others, but, they remember it the same as do I.
So, why was the number changed and who changed it? If the OS is indeed nearly 20 Billion, then there is another 5 Billion either in the Float, or Restricted, or a combination.
We've been told that there has been no change since April, yet, there it is in the ibox as a change as 9/14/09.
