tada....I agree with all...............the point I was making in general was that the perceived timeline the senior management team had thought would bare fruit for all was too short a window. It was a best guesstimate at the time. No fault of the receivers of these options. And yes granted options is a way that corporations can reward their key players when $$$ are tight which also give incentive! As noted I hope rewards are forth coming to all including us common shareholders as we have in general not been rewarded over the past number of years either!..time is certainly becoming a premium in proving this science to the world,,,,,.jmo
