Old Hickory,
I read your previous post before you retracted it.
That sounded like stuff from the same co. I work for.
Let's see if I can describe where I work: announced 4Q earnings yesterday; $0.99/share of which $0.49 was 'tax rebates'. Same or not?

I used to live in an idealistic world, but then I realized that the ideal world doesn't exist. We have too many humans in this world for it to be the ideal place. The ideal place is where everything is perfect and there are perfect people. The closest that I ever lived in a place like that was when I lived in Stepford, Connecticut. However since my wife couldn't be "programmed" we were exiled to Woodstock. Sure was a nice place to live though.... no crime, no worries, everything was perfect.... just like the world that you would like to live in.. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Remember, that the only thing that you have in this world, that no one can take away from you and you can never run out of it, is your honesty and integrity..... all the rest can leave in a fleeting moment..... read the Eulogy on the dog...... web page

Readers Digest wrote a story a few years back about corporate bureaucracy,meetings etc.
It was titled"The Death of Common Sense"

Junkman · Jan 31, 2004

Death of Common Sense....... I would post it, but it is "humor" and humor isn't allowed. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif... so you will have to read it from the web site yourself.... web page
