>the very FIRST thing the new owners should have done was to send a

Garry - I guess this expectation is based on the assumption that the
factory was sold intact and fully functional, with all computers and
files in apple-pie order so a mail-merge letter could be sent out as
soon as they walked in the door. That _may_ not be the case. And
perhaps before spending several hundred pounds on postage, the new
owners might want to take stock and make sure they could stand behind
anything written in a letter to all builders and owners. By the way,
even airmail letters can take several days to reach overseas
destinations, so if they'd been posted the same day the press release
went out, most people abroad would still not have received them.
Take a moment to consider the following _hypothetical_ situation.
Imagine that you have done some things you shouldn't have done, such
as take money for goods you couldn't supply. As you leave smartly by
the side door to avoid the ensuing fuss, do you wipe the computer
files and anything else that might implicate you, or leave them to
assist anyone investigating your actions? Remember, people and events
in this scenario are entirely fictitious - but if it was you, and you
had been prepared to do something slightly unethical in the first
place, what do you think you would choose to do with the evidence?
