JL,

It probably most likely is just benign information gathering. However, if I really wanted to verify the authenticity of your credentials, I'd check with the state board that licenses you. I'm not a user of linkedin, but I would gather that one could lie on their profile. Not exactly the most accurate source of info.

The part about stalking was in jest in response to one of Williams' posts.

For me, the most interesting part of all this is that it is obvious that something that you did touched some sort of nerve. I'm sure the head of the FDA gets hundreds upon hundreds of letters from people, but for her to forward it down to an attorney who actually took the time to do a little cursory background check on you. Well..if nothing else, at least we know they are treating this/your letter with a little bit more seriousness than your usual letter to the commissioner.

I work for another branch of the government and we receive a lot of correspondences addressed to our commissioner, but it is not routine to forward every correspondence to an attorney for a curosry background/identity check. This guy Varrone is most likely a GS-14 General Attorney. It is a waste of resources to have a GS-14 attorney merely verify the identify/authenticity of a doctor who wrote a letter to the commissioner. They have lower level staff for that stuff.

Establishing a dialogue with this guy, whether friend or foe, can't hurt. At this point, any sort information can only help.

Best of luck and pls keep us posted.
