Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I remember reading about Flock on Lum (Lum the Mad's site for the newbies). I thought someone had said that Sony had placed him there after the buyout, and that he was never happy there. Rumor had it that he had a reputation for dressing down SOE employees in front of everyone and generally being rude and overbearing (and refusing to let problems become known to any of his superiors--preventing them from being fixed). I remember reading on Lum that things got *really* ugly at SOE for a while as a result. I don't know how true any of this is, though...the people reporting at the time said they had a mole at SOE, but I recommend taking it with a grain of salt.
