Please see my post at the [Hellmann’s Mayonaise and the Rockies](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/005512.html) thread in GQ.

I quoted a complete Cecil answer on history and ownership of Standard Oil. This column appears in the original Straight Dope book, yet I am unable to find it on this site.

What gives?

If nothing else, someone has only to key in or OCR the predicate question, since I have the rest of it helpfully provided, and it can be added to the database.
