Them Apples and Liking Them

[ThosStew@aol.com]

Mr. Bone, 

before you fly off half cocked, know at whom you are flying. I don't like to 
blow my horn here, but I'm one of the four or five journalists who knows the 
most about stock options and corporate governance, have written about the 
subject for years, am widely recognized for expertise in the subject, and my 
politics, about which you are self-evidently 100% ignorant and which are far 
far away from screw the rich white guys, have nothing whatsoever to do with 
Michael Dell's inappropriately asking ordinary shareholders (most of whome 
are rich white guys) to pay for something he shuld buy himself. 

Yes, if Michael Dell owned a sole proprietorship, he'd be entitled to all the 
profits, provided he obeyed the law (including tax laws). But he doesn't,  
that's an entirely irrelevznt straw man, and it has nothing to do with his 
option grant.

If and when you show yourself knowledgeable about the subject, I'd be happy 
to discuss it further.
