CEO of Hewlett-Packard Ousted

Oops, this is from 2005. You remember what's her name. But it's still great conversation, right?

DU'ers, when you want to discuss on GD the particular issues involved with a news item because you think they are relevant, please consider framing an OP using your own headline and intro, and then, if you feel it will underline your viewpoint or add useful data, add a link to one or more news items from last month or 30 years ago. That will help distill the subject matter and make it much less critically hinged to the news story itself. This isn't LBN, but the copy and paste of outdated headlines can make the reader feel an OP is current news, when it's not.

While I'm on a rant, why not use some quotation marks on such GD news headlines as "I Was a Teenage Werewolf", so commenters won't feel the need to congratulate or condemn you, the OP, for your condition?

Thanks, and have a pleasant morning.
