I heard about the news with Deutsche Bank - Question - even if the
management used undue influence to change their vote - what can a court do
about it? It's their vote - and as sordid as the business is - they can vote
the way they choose. Can a court put an injunction on the outcome because of
this?

Second - I was thinking - wouldn't it be ironic if after all the votes are
tallied - all of us little guys swung the vote? DB has 1.something percent
of the shares; how about the some total of individual investors? Add the
shares owned by individuals -

My parents & I were discussing this fight - they have no HP stock - but my
mother was saying that she heard that Carly can be a real - well, fierce
competitor who (in my words) will hit below the belt. Guess this Deutsche
Bank news shows that.

My Dad made the point that unfortunately most Boards are appointed by the
CEO - I think I can see how this got to be the mess it is.

Let's see what the counts show.
