Patricia Dunn, don't let the screen door hit you on the way out
HP board chair Patricia Dunn, she of privacy-invading and quite possibly illegal investigatory practices against fellow Board members and several journalists, has resigned from the HP board effective immediately.
Now, I wonder how many other HP board members and execs who had knowledge of these disgraceful tactics are going to be kicked out on their ass. If it takes throwing out half the executive suite, than so be it.
I conclude this post with four lines from the classic "Star Trek" episode "Return Of The Archons:
All who saw you
All who knew of your presence here
must be excised
The memory of the body will be cleansed
