Well, so much for the 'plans of mice and men'...since 'a friend [not just] like [but - named] Ben' has indeed in the meantime 'come to the party' (as it were), bringing a better understanding in my particular direction. He has - effectively - if not 'dismissed', at the very least somewhat (if temporarily) allayed - my not so subtly alluded to concerns...thus essentially 'giv[ing] me the all-clear' (so to speak). And so my indicated caveat - to my assorted 'bundle of qualifications and stipulations' - has indeed been, at least provisionally, met. However, when I get the chance (provided I do, in the not too foreseeable) I fully intend to revisit the issue, and then perhaps let fly big-time, even spilling the (proverbial) beans - or, at the least, the ardour of my passions - upon aforementioned enigmatic entity... .
Hoping I haven't but realizing in saying the foregoing I've undoubtedly pissed *a number of ya's off, but even more so, trust me, Yours Truly...
And with that equally obscure reference I'll again sign off.
*But still keep the comments (I encouraged) coming, I'll do my best to read, review and carefully reflect upon/evaluate each and every last one of them...most truly!

Now, Believe you me, this AIN'T no conspiracy...
Though I'm not presently at liberty to divulge the gist and the guts of a very real and deserved *'[com]plaint' against a particular high-profile and apparently well-respected outfit that holds great sway in our present-day (supposedly) techno-savvy world - that, quite frankly, if metaphorically-speaking, gives it the proverbial (and all the rest), sparing very little in the process in a no-holds-barred expose of this well-known 'concern'...trust me when I inform you (in this 'precursor') that the one and only reason I presently demur is the likely repercussions that Yours Truly will, almost inevitably, incur as a consequence...almost immediately I do (let fly, that is). Suffice to say that though this certain organization is by no means necessarily the worst such offender in our modern-day era - how would I even know, it's not as though I make any inane, immodest claim to be around more than a smidgen of contemporary technology anyhow? - it's such a blatant, flagrant example of the same that it not only deserves such (negative) exposure, it likewise warrants all the 'comeuppance' that that ought to entail...but sadly, likely won't suffer... .
Be that as it well may, this blogpost today begins a sort of series of 'teasers' in which I'll 'toy' (in the nicest of ways, you understand!) with your expertise in 'sussing out' (as we like to say in Aotearoa-New Zealand) precisely what it is that I'm referring to...and all I - ever so respectfully, please also understand - ask from you in return is that...if you do somehow (or other!) manage to 'stumble upon' or otherwise experience a moment of insight into what I'm actually - if ever so gingerly and sensitively (at this stage) - alluding to: keep it a secret (for the time being)...for all will be revealed in due course...though admittedly (for all the aforementioned reasons) the interim period must of necessity (in all likelihood) remain somewhat longer than I'd normally wish...possibly even by a considerable degree. Which is not to throw the proverbial damp squib upon proceedings, but simply because - like, I imagine, for so many people - false expectations over the years and decades have ever played quite a number upon me, leaving me super-aware of their 'dangers' and therefore reluctant to visit them upon others wherever and whenever avoidable... .
That all having been 'said' or rather noted, I place the following proviso - attach the following caveat - to my (aforementioned) bundle of qualifications and stipulations: unless **'a friend named Ben' happens meanwhile to dismiss my nameless fears and give me the all clear. Being in the very field (concerned) himself, I feel if anyone ought to, then he should know... . And with that equally cryptic comment, I'll now 'sign off'... .
*The old-fashioned usage (that I kinda like) is - was - simply 'plaint'. Which dictionary definition (in my handy and beloved Chambers Concise Dictionary) is, appropriately enough: 'lamentation: a statement of grievance (etcetera)', from the root derivation of the Latin 'plangere, planctum, to beat the breast, lament'!
**All credit (with that reference) to a(n ultra-famous) 'singer-songwriter' I (otherwise) really have never cared much for at all - hey, see if you're able to guess that person's identity - though (in my view) in this instance (alongside his then famous siblings) he rose to the very heights (of/in a career that subsequently descended to unfathomable lows, apart from one or two other briefest of - positive - aberrations) .
***So please post comments - for once - upon my blogsite (thereabouts), I promise I'll check these out fastidiously and post any and all that are legible, reasonably coherent, civil and helpful to our discussion. Understood - and agreed?
