    No offense, John.  But you're smoothly written article does 
    not address a few important questions:  Is Ruthowski still a
    scieno?  Was he a scieno when he was dead agented?  Does he
    think he was set up?  By whom?

    So he was a scieno at Epson.

    Let me guess ... the anti-scienos?

    I bet there's an ugly little story under this rock.

    But beware ... you may be inviting OSA or Wise into your 
    business, too.  Take it from me and the Good Hands 
    People[tm]:  the Stench of Scientology is hard to remove, 
    once it gets on you.
    
    HAND.
