A clickfor "lack of gruntlement." (And for a rather alarming read.)
Any idea whether said article has ended up floating round the intertubes? Much as I hate tabloid journalism I'd be intrigued to read what they wrote about him (let alone the letter with which he replied...)

It happened in the early 90s, so afraid not.I imagine the terms of the settlement ensured the story wasn't spread further as well.
The guy is question is proof that the borderline between genius and insanity is very slim. The company is successful and well-respected in its industry, but for every brilliant idea he has, there's another one that's utterly bizarre.
I DO actually like working there. I have clever and nice colleagues, flexible working hours and an interesting job, and my contact with the boss is limited. Plus I know I'll be one of the last to experience working in a place like this - I've experienced other fucked-up workplaces, but they are usually fucked-up in a less interesting way. We've just last month had another ridiculously stupid intrigue, the details of which I'm not going to bore you with.
