There seems to be some misunderstanding here. I asked if you had posted the story elsewhere because it is not directly related to the OP and I would like to read and comment further on it.
Then I owe you, and offer you, my apology.
I brought this subject up a few years ago at TOS, but haven't had time to go back through my comment history over there yet.
(did you get to the Merck employee gripes/accusations over/with Q and A holding down the fort at the cockroach motel?)
