My preference is for confrontational, so long as it is not insulting. This
will give us the biggest bang for the buck. I want this to capture the
attention of the business press and business analysts so that the people
with access to Carly, Ann, etc. will be motivated to ask the questions that
we can not.

What's the downside? HP management will ignore us? Seems like that is
already the current state of affairs.
