This is bitterly amusing, but possibly also a fruitful avenue of inquiry for the gazillion plaintiff lawyers looking for evidence of guilty knowledge or cover-ups.

On November 9 I posted the following (excerpted):

"For at least two or three weeks ENE's web site has been carrying for all the world to see a press announcement flatly stating that the entire board "approved" these shenanigans. (Well, they don't call them 'shenanigans' but that's what they mean.) Someone should have told the board members that they have a constitutional right to take the 5th Amendment and not say anything that would tend to incriminate them all."

Unfortunately, I didn't provide a link to the original Enron release. Silly me. Today, I happened to notice that the Enron web site is completely denuded of that press release. Nor is it archived. Someone must have done exactly what I suggested with my tongue in cheek: advised the board to take the 5th. But retroactively? That's a new one!

In fact, looking through the archived press releases there seems to be a gap -- about 18 1/2 minutes long (ha ha) -- in the list of press releases issued in September-November.

ENE webmasters: Who ordered you to remove these formerly public statements from the web site - and when did they do it?
