Once you realise that most people don't read most of the information you give them, it sort of becomes a secret power. You can hide all sorts of things in a five paragraph email, let alone a full report.

I started offering cash prizes in the middle of reports, to be claimed simply by telling me you'd read that bit. Not a single taker. I stopped writing the reports after that, and no one noticed.
