Sometimes I get the feeling I'm out of the information loop nowadays.

You signed that letter right after the tequila and rum party we had this past weekend with those guys from Vegas. I recall you had a sylver-plated double-Cross pen.

Here's something else you probably forgot writing:

Dear Fellow FBNers:

The time has come for us to implement Chairmen TED's Ten Commandments to increase stockholder value.

As you know, FBN Associates is in the middle of an ethereal cleansing for all people illegally shorting FBN stock. We here at FBN will not rest until we have vanquished the impure souls of those who have chosen to embark down the path of evil.

Please read, comprehend, and carry out the following Commandments very carefully:

The First Commandment
"I am TED thy CEO, which have brought thee out of the land of Canada, out of the house of Charters. Thou shalt have no other CEO before me."

The Second Commandment
"Thou shalt not short against any security bearing thine graven image."

The Third Commandment
"Thou shalt not take the name of magneticdiary.com in vain."

The Fourth Commandment
"Remember April 1, and keep it holy."

The Fifth Commandment
"Honor thy mailroom attendant: that their days may be long and their rum warm."

The Sixth Commandment
"Thou shalt not kill time questioning FBN management."

The Seventh Commandment
"Thou shalt be adulatory when speaking about FBN."

The Eighth Commandment
"Thou shalt not steal posts with multiple zeros from Chairmen TED."

The Ninth Commandment
"Thou shalt not staple one's body parts."

The Tenth Commandment
"Thou shalt not covet thy Chairmen's new house, thou shalt not covet thy Director of R&D's wife, nor his intern, nor the Director of IR, nor her ass, nor anyone who is sunbathing by thy neighbour's pool."

Sincerely,

Chairmen TED

Humble suggestion, TED, you may want to lay off that Sleepy Time tea during our bashes. I did deliver, in person, and you signed, as Jeff pointed out.

And thanks for signing that order for the truckload of rum!

I remain humbly sipping, by the mail slot of the FBN mail room, virtually near the first arch of the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, where they serve great hot rum, gratis for me, yours truly, hick,

TED,

So, why hasn't anybody stepped forward to take this job?

Taking over your job would be like taking Cal Ripkins job at third base. Sure the perks are nice but who would want to suffer through the inevitable and unenviable comparisons.

Regards

Tom
