You know, I think Michael Corleone said it far better than I can: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
As such, how about I simply let today's email from Dell underscore my exasperation and perhaps best display my repartee? Hopefully, we can conclude the hostilities with this one last posting - yes, that's verbatim the email from Dell and my response. Seriously, I sent my email back to Dell, exactly as worded below.
