  "We also...used...Internet surveillance techniques. I had a screen name, which I assure you was anonymous, and I told my university I was using it as an anonymous screen name, to actually go into the Internet. There are about 15 to 20 bulletin boards that refer specifically to recreational drug use and many more chat groups that one can go in and actually monitor the recreational use of drugs.

  In a very short period of time -- and I'll give you some of this data later on -- tramadol appeared within one week of its appearance on the market. Discussion of it began occurring on the Internet about a new drug. There was a new prescription drug out. They had the name wrong. They misspelled it. There was all sorts of things, but within a week I was impressed. The pharmacologists on these things were superb. They had the pharmacology down. It was down completely. The comments were sort of interesting. We'll get into a couple of them. In essence, it was pretty useless except that it alleviated pain was the primary summary that we got from these. Very important, though.

  Through my screen name, I was actually able to go in and communicate with these people and get additional data if they claimed abuse or they claimed mood-altering effects, and actually was then able to generate a case report off the Internet, which I think is sort of a unique way of using the Internet and showed us adapting to that situation."
