I'm sorry - that was my fault as I changed the subject line from some
random garbage to Pyraic Frobnobber auction, and removed Acka from it. The
other two just replied to my email.

Sorry again. (I've fixed it now - the latest one should be ok)

 I didn't did I?  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 point being that if you had been shrewd you could have picked up a pyraic
frobnotzer for A$50 not all that long ago like I did (cheers CnH!).

Subject: Acka: Ackan Reserve Financial Report

Daily News:
	Despite today's fall of nearly one point, tomorrow is expected to
be a booming day for the market.  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been replaced by a new group hand picked by the illustrious if.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.

Stock Market Information:

Assuming no futher announcements today, the following information will take
