I assume this means I need to re-join Interex?
Sorry, Interex' press release claiming Interex membership supported the
HP/Compaq merger caused me to cancel membership now and forever. I will not
be a part of any organization which lies about what I do and do not support.
I was never polled or consulted in any way by Interex. Yet they claimed they
were speaking in my interests.
The only way I will ever possibly rejoin Interex is if I receive a full and
complete apology concerning this mis-representation. If it had been based on
a legitimate poll or vote, then it would have been OK as "the will of the
majority". But, to have lied and instead implied Interex membership
supported the merger, when in fact the Interex board can not have possibly
known this because they did not ask the membership, was completely
unacceptable.
My feelings in this matter have only been confirmed by Interex' banning of
press at HP World. I will not be part of any organization which restricts
the objective freedom of the press. Again, as far as I know there has never
been a complete and official apology from the Interex board for this
mistake. The statements from Interex seem to have only blamed the
individuals who made the decision without ever extending an apology from
Interex itself.
