Cc: Nick Martin <CEO of Altium>

Dear Mr. Cooley,

As a woman who earned an MSEE and an MBA along with 9 years engineering
experience, I was deeply offended by your Wiretap of February 10th.  Your
coverage of the Altium "booth babe" at the recent DesignCon'09 conference
both objectifies and demeans women as a group.  Why did you permit such a
puerile exchange of letters to be published on DeepChip?  What engineering
purpose did they serve?

Mr. Martin, what type of company are you running such that your primary
marketing message is about the sexual exploitation of women?

If either of you were my coworkers I would have reported you to HR, so you
could both get the sensitivity training you so grievously lack.

If you so choose to publish this letter, as is your habit, please keep my
name and my company out of the public eye.

    - [ One Angry Lady ]

P.S. Don't bother replying.  All subsequent emails I may receive from you
     directly go into the spam folder.
