Maybe it’s an individual in a reputable organisation trying to get promotion by conducting his/her own survey? The pain clinics that implant these things ( I have a dead one in me 
are not imo welcoming of negative info. Post-op the Doc wanted largely positive feedback I assumed, as I never got a reply to my survey response which included a mix and a conclusion that it was an expensive experiment. Jason

http://www.mckinsey.com/ Strictly based on the IP in the post and who the whois enquiry says it belongs too. Did a search based on who the IP was registered to. Does seem to be a legit research/marketing company. I just really question the use of yahoo replies and google to post the message as being a legitimate way to find legitimate responders to provide such marketing results information. Seems real nonprofessional way to go about it to me. I did send a reply to the contact info listed on the website. Pointing out my concerns and such. I’ve not received a reply — I did use my ISP mail to request said reply.

This is the same one as last time folks. The one who never responded when questioned about yahoo addresses and posting through google for business. I found a website that appears to be related based on the registered owner of the IP address of this post. If there is a contact link I intend to ask what this is about.
