An old-school reply to an advertiser’s retro threat
- empressplay 11y agoHP released the letter [1] in the hopes that it would make them look better, but the threat is still at the end of it. Not sure how that makes anything better.

- stunthamsterio 11y agoHaving read the actual missive they sent, they come out looking worse in my eyes; not only was the threat still at the end, but it was crowned by a complete unfocused display of management babble.
- kwhitefoot 11y agoIt just confirms Kellaway's point that the editorial side of a newspaper is supposed to be independent of the advertising. If we wanted advertising disguised as journalism or editorial decisions taken by the advertisers we could read a trade magazine.
- Ayaz 11y agoAs recently as two days ago I finished reading Porter Erisman's "Alibaba's World" in which he described his and Alibaba's run in with both Meg Whitman and Henry Gomez, who were then working on eBay China. What I read Erisman describe as his bitter experiences with Gomez then, and I read described in the article today, came as no surprise to me really.
