Hi, Paul.

PE> Frank, someone's stealing my PDP!  I just got a chess statement today, and
PE> I'm down to 14900 shares!  I have no record of you selling any more.  WHAT
PE> THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!  BFN.  Paul.

I started looking into this and it doesn't make sense. Have you got
statements, BT or CHESS, which actually show movements? ie transactions?
ie, here is an opening balance, here is xxxx shares removed, here is a
closing balance? Or just a single number which keeps changing?

If the statements show transactions what are the dates and any
explanatory (obfuscatory?) codes?

PE> P.S. I originally had 18900 shares, the last BT statement (30/11/96) shows
PE> 17100 shares, which means they 1800 you sold tally.  So I don't know why
PE> I've got a share certificate for 400 shares, and I don't know why my Chess
PE> statement is now showing 14900.  I'm watching the X-files at the moment, so
PE> I'm assuming a universe-wide conspiracy.

That's the most likely. :-)

Regards, fIM.
