[Info-vax] OT: The New Face of HP

[Galen]

I too was once insultingly "blown off" by Mr. Vouters after contacting
him when I was looking at a problem in some open source code which
mentioned him as involved in its development or support. It's long
enough ago that I can give little detail, but in my case at least Mr
Vouters used no profanity or other comparatively "loaded" language.

Did Mr. Vouters's emails in question flow from a "@hp.com" address?
Where I come from, I don't think the bosses would exactly bestow a
glowing smile on an employee who used his official company email to
address _anyone_ like that, especially a potential customer.
