Re: "cooking the books, smoothing the earnings"

Belated followup to a previous exchange on how to "manage" earnings to produce solid, reliable results.

Here is a longish 2 year old article on the topic from Fortune magazine. Microsoft, AOL and Boston Chicken (before the crash...) are mentioned as case studies.

Despite the fact this was written almost two years ago it is still relevant today, and especially for COMS.
