Stephen,

Thanks, and I think you’re absolutely right. What I did was to send this person a copy of my article and I copied the CEO of Allstate on the email. That kind of thing has a way of getting attention. I’m absolutely beyond patience with this kind of thing, and I take aggressive stances when necessary. The CEO is of my vintage- and that makes a huge difference. When the CEO is an arrogant, thoughtless POS like Zuckerberg, well, we’ve all seen the results. The world is changing, and part of my response is to turn more and more into a hermit crab in some areas of my life. Transparency is not a gift in this regard. I’m sick unto death of millions of enterprising sales people attempting to discover the color of my underwear. I’ll give your idea a try.
