Lynn, Dear Dave: Take a look at the old HWP thread. People from the old CPQ thread did indeed go over and let people know: All I found was a post from Night Writer with a link to the new thread, with no text describing why this link was posted (I didn't click on the link originally since there was no explanation of what it was for -- my fault, I suppose), and no invitation to join the "new HP" thread. Not much of a "notice". Don't blame all CPQ thread people for this new thread. Blame me if you want. There was no 'unilateral decision.' We had discussed a few times whether to retain the CPQ thread or all go over to the HWP thread--until the stock symbol change was announced. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm simply saying: a) no one has acted as if they want to be part of the HP family, in spite of several "welcomes", and b) that I was addressing the attitudes that will need to exist within the acquired company if this merger is going to succeed. Have a fun day with your garden. Dave
