>Is it true, Randy, that you find yourself working for Monsanto now?

"working for" can be an ambiguous term (if one is doing field trials and only having "expenses" covered, is that "working for" or "working with")?

What I think is the important question (especially given Randy's post about the role of the individual in a corporation) is:

"Are you in any way restricted from sharing anything you learn or observe in the field trials you are participating in or in any discussions you have with Beeologics or Monsanto employees"?  Is there any kind of confidentiality agreement?  Is this a blind study?  Do you know if (or which) treatments are control and which contain remibee?  ....in short, "Is there anything (observations, communications) between you and Beeologics/Monsanto that you are not at liberty to discuss"?

Obviously, if there are restrictions on what you can say no one expects you to break those restrictions...but I can't believe that you are restricted from saying if there are any restrictions or not.
