Did they do that just so people wouldn't notice it was the same guy?  Or does
do everything but acting under his real name?

Not bad.  For once, though, I enjoyed this week's new Voyager episode more than
the new DS9 episode.

So Quark has a conscience.  I wonder how prevalent that is among the Ferengi.
He's becoming more like Rom every day.

Good acting jobs in this episode; generally good writing, pretty good concept. 
It just didn't do much for me.  Maybe if the results were a little more
elaborate, or things didn't work out quite as easily, or perhaps Quark's
solution were more detailed, clever, and cunning, I might have enjoyed it more.

Did you notice that Quark mis-pronounced Quadro-triticayle.  Or at least
pronounced it differently that in "Trouble..."  Of course, I probably spelled it
wrong.

    Ditto with .4, excpet Voyager usually outperforms DS9 for me. This one
    was especially boring. I watched this on tape on three separate attempts
    and fell asleep each time. Wasn't a very similar episode done with
    Quark just a few back? This was one big 'no-op'...
