Though bear in mind that a harpooner would be one of three or four skilled
experts on whom the entire profit of the voyage depended. <g> One
three-hundredth looks kind of mingy when you think about it that way.

I've received two sets of stock options - 35 potential shares from one
company, and 1000 potential shares from another. Number of shares is pretty
well irrelevant - it matters more whether you want to take a gamble. You
might win, you might not. I would certainly never join a company solely
because of the promise of stock options, nor stay on solely because of
unexercised stock options. I like a bet, but not enough to let it run my
life!
