I really hope that you don't mind this
NG, but DN and myself discussed your theory regarding the MU Ferengi when we met in person yesterday for a pint or two of the good stuff. I think that you have a brilliant evolutionary perspective as to why the Ferengi are just that bit different from Cardassians or indeed humans.
Your story is, as per usual, your brilliant best but I'll have to leave you a more detailed comment later
