My guess as to what happened:
1. HP labeled cartridges in SI only.
2. Someone whined.
3. HP decided to put "(1.05 fl oz)" on, to stop the whining. At least it was in
second place, and parenthetical -- the cartridge remains hard SI (30 mL).
I would not have written to them if they hadn't gone retrograde on us. Haven't gotten
a reply yet (except for the autoresponse along the lines of: we got your e-mail and
will answer soon.

Dear Carleton, Han and Louis,
I'll condense this into one. First the above.
If it is true that HP is doing this they should be dennounced before the TABD and the
EU as they're clearly backpedaling and not contributing to solve the problem, but
rather making the situation worse!
This would go to show what a bunch of hypocrites these Executives at HP are! (And,
BTW, I wouldn't mind writing them myself if someone can give me directions of the
effective persons to contact)
Second, the issue of lobbying the EU. I understand where Louis is coming from,
therefore, why don't we approach the EU in a "consultative" mode, i.e. why don't we
make an inquiry with Mr. Pietrasanta, for instance, about if there is any mechanism
that was setup by the committee responsible to oversee this issue to update this
situation both with TABD and the US government. If there is we should then write them
and inquire as to what's going on (in the meantime, evidently, we should let Mr.
Pietrasanta know of what members of the TABD are doing! EU parliamentarians must know
about this backstabbing by American organizations, to again reinforce to them what
TABD's true colors are!!!).
Please let me know what you think and how we can best get this thing off the ground.
Let's please remember that pre-emptive strikes are better than to deal with remedial
ones!!! ;-)
