Ignore the following message if it is repeated elsewhere; i sent it to the
back-up list first, then the main list when it didnt arrive through the
backup one.

DOH!  I forgot.  I give Square Peg and Round Hole and the Puzzle Box to
JT... this was pretty much completely a tag-team effort on our part; I
solved 3 of the puzzles, and made the critical discovery of joe's error on
the fourth, but without JT's intuitive solution of the first and his
ability to strongarm through the obscure TMBG reference, and without him on
the last part (which would have been completely unsolveable to me) the
treasure would not have been found by me...

I give A$1 to the twits for forgetting to give this to JT, then I give A$1
to JAM for giving money to an organization I'm not even a part of.

I thank Anathema for these two fine trinkets and immediately donate them
both to the Museum.

Square Peg and Round Hole worth A$250 increases in value to A$325 upon
donation.
Puzzle Box increases in value from A$50 to A$65 upon donation (since
/dev/joes treasure had been buried for just over 2 months :)

I also offer A$123 to Anathema for Lake Vostok.

Subject: Acka: The Gingham Telegraph

Editorial

It has been almost two months now since proposal 3333 passed to remove
annti-voting from Ackanomic and now seems a good time to analyse what
effect this hhas had. Many of the advocates of anti-voting would claim
that it's removal has not had the desired effect, pointing out as
evidence the fact that a recent proposal to give Studge a cycle win
nearly passed. Indeed, we at the Ackan will acknowledge that, on the
surface, there does not appear to be much change in voting patterns.
However, the problems postulated by those who oppopsed P3333 also appear
to have failed to arise. Nobody has, as of yet, been forced at knife
point to justify their votes, and I for one am glad. Despite the
controversy of P3333 it appears now to be largely insignificant. So I
ask everyone to now ask themselves a question about anti-voting: do we
really care either way anymore?

Let the ballot stuffing commence!

In the recent gadget replacement caused by proposal 3601 no fewer than 4
ballot stuffers were generated, three evil and one good. One of the
recipients of an evil ballot stuffer was Rambo R Minuteman, the founder
of the Church of the Good Ballot Stuffer. When asked to comment on this
Rambo was seen to spit to the floor. Rumour has it though, that e will
either donate it to the museum or seek out a felicitous populi otzma
card.

We were also planning on bringing you some statistics about how often
different offices change hands but then end of the month draws near and
the entire editorial staff will be out for most of tomorrow. We will try
to make up for this by having an issue with some contents next month.

Rambo r Minuteman, editor of The Gingham Telegraph.

I would like this last statement to be retracted, on the grounds that you

>Calvin N Hobbes has found Phoebe's Matchbox.

It was dark. It was damp. There was a hurricane heading for Biloxi. Someone
deserved to hit more than 66 homers. As always, I was running late. Then I
heared a voice only rarely heard.

"Summary judgement provides a needed avenue for resolution of another
category of cases, in which the parties agree on the underlying facts but
disagree as to the legal implications of those facts. In Berlin's case, for
example, the parties may agree that the case was decided by a continuance
without a finding but disagree as to whether that disposition constitutes
'favorable termination' for purposes of an action for malicious prosecution."

I was stunned. Joseph W. Glannon could not have put it better when
discussing Civil Procedure. The voice went on.

"If so, Porter might move for summary judgement, supported by evidence that
the case was continued without a finding. If Berlin admits that the case was
continued, he will not respond with countervailing evidence but instead with
the legal argument that the continuance satisfies the 'favorable
termination' element of a malicious prosecution claim."

I saw it was Phoebe herself and was inclined to agree with her. It was true
that the strategic maneuvering was the ideal way to proceed under the
Federal Rules for Civil Procedure, of which Rule 12(b)(6).

"On these facts, the motion has framed a single, dispositive legal issue for
the court. If it concludes that the continuance suffices for favorable
termination, it will deny summary judgement and allow the case to proceed.
If it concludes that it does not satisfy the favorable termination
requirement, it will enter judgement for Porter because he is 'entitled to
judgement as a matter of law.'"

And like that... [phhhh] she was gone.
