SW10/WWW/REPOST: Update Request (Four Heroes, Part 2)

[Scott Eiler]

This relates to a RACC High Challenge story I once wrote:  "Missing 
Story".  My story for the challenge was "Four Heroes, Part 2", in 2011 
or thereabouts.  That story included (anachronistically) Ellipsis, Wyatt 
Ferguson, and the Golden Age Powernaut - plus Racer Girl.

That story was of course based upon "Four Heroes", in 2003.  It included 
Ellipsis, Wyatt Ferguson, one Captain Mighty, and one race car driver 
Roxanne Scott.  http://www.eilertech.com/stories/me2003.htm#4heroes

For the original story, I went to the trouble of describing a 
corporation which sponsored an All-Girl Racing Team.  That corporation 
was (for some reason) Nevada Power and Light.  I created two web pages 
for it.  http://www.eilertech.com/stories/nevada/index.htm , 
http://www.eilertech.com/stories/nevada/heroes.htm

As of 2003, that corporation did not exist.  But in 2008 I found a link 
to a Nevada Power and Light corporation.  I duly put it in - along with 
a warning that my own web page was fictional and not for reporting 
electrical issues.

This week, I got an update request for the link.  Some other corporation 
has apparently bought Nevada Power and Light.  They have redirected that 
website to sell their own cable and internet services.  They asked me to 
follow their new link.

I declined.  I pointed out, my web site is fictional, and it refers to a 
certain electric company which does not seem to be accessible to *their* 
web site.  I offered to link to their Nevada electric company, if they 
could produce such a link.  As of now, though, the link to a real-world 
company is inactive.

I've yet to hear back.  We know how Big Companies get, when they swallow 
and gut Small Companies.

But anyway...  here's my version of Classic SW10 for this week.  Might 
as well start at the RACC classic,
