John, wasn`t patting anyone on the back. I simply said that FF isn`t the devil incarnate. I am sure FF has used options to make his purchases, but I also recalled (as you pointed out) that RP made a purchase at a level higher than we are now. I am not having a lovefest with anyone. I am as disappointed as everyone else (well, except maybe emit) about the company`s performance, but I refuse to pick the low hanging fruit and blame the national debt and global warming on FF or RP. Also not trying to start a lengthy thread re: management or pick a fight with you or anyone else. Guess I am just a little more forgiving - my patience hasn`t completely run out - yet...:>)0
