Tonto,

What kind of credibility does that give to the audit? Also, did they give a reason why AZNT has an outstanding balance?

Excellent work tonto

Now wonder we think of you as the good tonto.
That was a good one.

Maybe they are their own auditors ?
What a clever company.

The Melissa Macro Virus

Many of you know that the Melissa Macro Virus appeared last Friday afternoon on an alt.sex newsgroup. The virus was an email attachment called list.doc that appeared to be from someone you knew. The list.doc file contained a clever VBA script that opened your address book and sent the same file to the first 50 addresses. The list was a list of porn sites. It works automatically. I work in the tech field on a large network (nearing 5000 nodes) and our Exchange Mail System was infected on Friday afternoon at 5:10 MST, in 30 minutes the virus created 30,000 Email messages. A quick thinking postmaster, luckily still at work, disconnected all 5 of our Exchange Servers from the network thereby minimizing the effect of the virus.
Because of the widespread virus activity the FBI investigated. Network Associates (McAfee) traced the first appearance of virus to an AOL poster named "Sky Roket". The FBI identified the poster as Steven Steinmetz (sp?) who claims to be totally innocent. He also claims he is now getting about 20 Emails per day and it includes hate mail, fan mail, mail from other virus programmers etc.

The Stupid Part
The virus actually refers to the "Simpsons" TV show.
A line in the virus, which many presumed to be the authors name is actually taken from the show.
It is from an episode where Bart is playing Scrabble. The virus contains the following line
"KWYJIBO...that's twenty two points, triple word score and fifty points for using all my tiles. I am outta here."

You can go check the 1997 10K at Edgar. It isn't signed by any accountant, nor is the auditor named.

AZNT itself, of course, admits it stiffed 'em.
