>> I heard recently that Hewlett missed a couple of key meetings when the Compaq merger was discussed. He did vote for it, apparently, when it came up for a vote, but one guesses that he may not have had the full picture and that is why he is opposed now. You need to do a little more dd on the HP situation before you try to draw parallels, Thomas. >> If those absences were contrived, i.e., intentionally scheduling meetings when he was travelling, would that make him guilty of non-feasance if this merger were something akin to the Enron stuff? It might, depending on the nature of Walter's commitments, but it would surely make those scheduling the meeting guilty of malfeasance. There's no need to debate this any further since Judith and I are in agreement :-). uf
