Rule 500.2 places the entities somewhere else which by definition is not "considered to be in the treasury" and thus rule 505 has no effect.

Well I'll be... The changing face of Ackanomic. Just for the record while in favour of the quorum repeal I was against the title :) K 2 ------------------------------ From: "Joseph W.
