arthritis...you are a good man. Please don't confuse concern over this option request, which is enhanced by the vague and non-specific explanation provided by management, as some big lack of confidence in the company. Those that try to twist this issue into an argument over the shareprice, the revenue increase, etc. are clouding the issue IMO.
Again, as I have said in nearly every post about this issue...many have gone too far in pointing out shortcomings and negatives of the company...way too far, IMO! Conversely, the other side has gone overboard as well, bringing up things that really don't have anything to do with the issue at hand.
This proxy vote will pass I imagine, and management will get their extra 5M toys, but you and others should not question the integrity of those of us that disagree with it. That would be just like questioning the loyalty and patriotism of a citizen based upon who they vote for...or doubting the dedication and contribution of a brave soldier based on his political affiliation. There just is no place for that kind of thinking, IMO.
