The other two just replied to my email. Sorry again.

Oh, so I did. Ooops. I plead not having enough time since coming off vacation to be thinking about looking to see if the word "Acka" has been forgotton to be included within the Subject line of the message.

The CFO of Shell#4, which bought up bankrupt Shell#10's flagging mutual fund division, reported that, "The unbelievably small number of activities today mean that we can expect huge gains tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it." In other news, Shell#10 has applied for bankruptcy protection, and is selling off several of its divisions. Shell#4, controlled by if, has bought its mutual funds and proposal generation divisions. Shell#3 bought its penguin breeding programs. Elsifian Enterprises, once the jewel of the Shell#10 empire, seems unsellable. Its largest customer, the Ackan Reserve, has declared that it will no longer buy "non-existant" products, which, according to the Shell#10 Marketing Director, "is just about all we sell." The Ackan Reserve Financial report under the brilliant leadership of if, has changed its hiring practices. Vitually all of the staff from when it was dominated by else has been fired, including everyone hired away from other newspapers under its competitive hiring practices. Those employees, mostly former sub-editors at the Infrequent Ackan, have been shipped back to the Infrequent Ackan for summary execution. The staff has been replaced by a new group hand picked by the illustrious if. There is no question that such an excellent staff picked by such a genius can avoid the errers thta plaged teh previos incanration.
