[Blanche DeFord]

Rik,

I am ignorant of these things.  Who sets the board of directors pay?

Sincerely,
Blanche DeFord

Wally,

Agreed, corporate officer's compensation is ridiculous. Especially 
considering the amount of personal responsibility they show. (Thain is 
the latest perfect example) BUT, every one of those corporations has a 
board of directors that agreed to pay that compensation. Was somebody 
holding a gun to their heads?? .... or are they just that stupid. We 
can't blame a man for taking the money that was offered to him.
