I know this has been mentioned in the past but one big vote of confidence is the fact that on top of the options granted to Taylor (~2.67M), he has also gone about purchasing an additional ~1.23M shares in the open market.

Moreover, many past Directors continue to hold on to previous shares granted.

May be pulling a blank but who is Stanley Griffith Hawkins? He ceased to be a director in January of 2007 but still holds 16.8M shares!
