While organizing my files, I noticed that a file with this same name was sent to FotW-ml back on Thu, 7 Feb 2002 08:08:54 -0500 (EST), by Phillip Nelson <[email protected]> re "[Flags] Enron". However, this contribution seems to have not been (yet?) edited into FotW-ws. Now, I may risk the wrath of some by disrespecting both the site Director and the US editor as I ask about the fate of this contribution — either (still) in the editing backlog or in the garbage can —, but I take that risk out of respect for the contributer(s). I paste the relevant contributions below: > From: Phillip Nelson <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, February 7, 2002, 2:08:54 PM > Subject: [Flags] Enron ===8<==============Original message text=============== The flag of Enron (us$enron.gif) is attached. This flag has been seen on various news programs during reports on the Enron bankruptcy and the allegations that executives created partnerships to hide company losses from the balance sheets, allegations that company officials raided the employee retirement funds and sold large amounts of stock just days prior to the company declaring bankruptcy. This image was based on observation and photographs of two separate flags on sale on E-Bay last week and reports by the selling party of the unworn flag of the size. I've also noted a second flag, with only the company name on a white field, with some stylistic rendering of some of the letters.
