    So your change becomes extortion on Dell's part?

    I see nothing wrong with what Dell did. You on the other hand...

    This kind of crap is why Dell has gotten strict policies on most things. Good for you that you got Dell to give up more money, but don't spread the way you extorted them to the entire board. I will be very surprised if this lasts very long without a mod deleting it as I'm sure it's against some rule on here. Thanks for contributing to Dell increasing prices and tightening rules, thanks a lot.

    No. I "extorted" Dell (with lots of hyperbole attached).

    Yeah let's not drive up prices any more than they need to be . . . it's kind of you to try and save people money, but realize that it is going to be paid for somewhere, somehow, by someone. There is no such thing as a free lunch and there never will be.
