RE:My Few Cents...Hey Farminv. To answer you question number 4. Samson said the last year the board was in disagreement with jcp on strategy going forward and was also disappointed in his results. And from what I understand when the money or his contract ran out they gave him the option to be "benched" so work for free for a while and keep is options or resign, and he resigned. Pierre obviously chose to work for free and stick around because that's what he's doing. So I assume he was given the same options. The rest of the board were never paid and still working unpaid.
