I doubt it.  We value our jobs too much.  There is really no such thing
as an "unofficial" response on notes, all disclaimers aside.  Also,
unofficial private correspondances have a way of being distributed.  I work
for HP, I am using one of HP's computers right now, and I am therefore an
HP representative.  I also know the truth on this refill matter to
the extent HP really understands all the issues (which are, by the way,
quite complex) relating to inks and service stations.  Alas, I must
hold my tongue (or fingers or whatever).
