- Hey, come on now, people. I've had a few interactions with Dell
- support and I've received nothing but prompt, knowledgeable, and
- helpful responses. And I don't even own any Dell products (yet).
-
- Frankly, I can understand Donn's problem with this guy. I think a
- rather obvious attempt to blackmail a vendor with bad net.publicity
- was met with, if perhaps a bit too much strength, an appropriate
- response. Having had to deal with the occasional demanding (l)user, I
- can understand exactly the kind of frustration that regular support
- troops are left feeling when dealing with someone who wants things to
- work THEIR way, and no other answer is acceptable.
-
- [Note that I do NOT usually do support -- for those who missed it,
- neither does Donn.]
