I'm with you, Philip. Anybody clued in to what you're really asking is going to know what type of information you are looking for, and appreciate your professionalism in asking. Phrasing things in a way which clearly promotes your own agenda is a short road to nowhereville. You want information to help you make an informed decision, not to stir up trouble among the ranks, particularly if you're looking for any type of advancement in that company. That's only my opinion, though. Others may have different approaches and mindsets.
