When I got in this morning, the bogus symbols again had ISIN values. I have blanked those ISIN values out again.

{Cow-orker} does make the excellent subtle point that most of my work-related e-mails take the general attitude of blues song, like:
“Boom Boom Boom Boom, gonna shoot book quotes right down.”
“Vendor files don’t do me no good. Drop their bogus symbols, I wish they would.”
“Last night in the Ops Room, sitting round with my mates, I fixed daily futures charts, because settles came in late. Now, weren’t that a man?”
“I write forty-seven miles of e-mails, wear a CAT-5 cable for a necktie. Got a brand new house on the roadside made of discarded monitor boxes.”

As Jedi RobMo said once, “Scuse me, while I kill this guy.”

Well, as Muddy Waters once sang, “I want you to rock me, baby, like my SQL database got no primary key.”

Blues scholars were puzzled for years about the meaning of this.
