Well, a quick phone call to agent Phox Smolder from the Ph.B.I. has... uhm,
"clarified the picture" (no phun intended :-)). As it turns out, EKC is
under investigation for using alien DNA in its T-MAX emulsions. In fact,
the "X" in T-MAX is a dead giveaway for an active X-files status.
I was relieved to learn that none of our beloved OM/Zuikos are suspect:
pls note -- no letter "X" anywhere(?) in the OM system. However, Phox's
repeated denials of the existence of "Z-files" were utterly unconvincing.
Don't say you weren't warned! :-)
