`18.Sep.2002` Ryan E. A. Czerwinski (ANF)	Merlancia Clarifies Question on Legal Status Once again it seems we are left to clarify a normally easy to understand issue that really is not important to those outside the company/corporate staff. The short scoop: Merlancia is still alive and well, despite wishes of those who would plot for our demise out of spite and malice... Plesse read this Merlancia Press Release on this matter for further details. Editor's remark: The reason for this statement is probably the link discussed on ANN, according to which the company Merlancia has been dissolved. (ps) [News message: 18.
