what are the reasons that HP is giving? I am  sure they did not make a
statement with out some reasons to explain it?  I am very curious...

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT Interex


I hear that HP has given Interex an ultimatum, either let HP take it over or
it will not recognize Interex as the HP users' group.  This means that if
Intererex does not capitulate HP will have only a small booth at HPWorld and
have little to do with it.  THIS IS A SHAMEFUL MOVE ON HP's PART AND ALL
MEMBERS OF INTEREX AND OTHERS WHO FEEL THAT INTEREX SHOULD REMAIN
INDEPENDENT SHOULD RAISE A HOWL.  It would be better to go down fighting
rather than capitulate.  I hope all Interex members and even non ,embers
will tell the Interex board that this move on HP's part is
predatory and should be rejected.  The time for Acton is NOW before the
Board votes on Tuesday, other wise advocacy for the user, which Interex
stands for goes down the tubes.
