No problem Boron! I remember how upset she was when the changes
started happening. She said that prior to the changes, every product
they had was tested in her kitchen on the plant. Then they started
bypassing the testing and just throwing new products on the shelf with
no actual human testing. She said that the quality started dropping at
that point and she became very dissatisfied with her job.

If I remember correctly, she stayed there about 6 months then and left
for another job.

I'll post in this thread when she answers my email. It might be a few
days. She's a very busy person.
