Once again, you are being illogical... You wrote: <as I consistently receive kind posts like yours on this thread addressed to me.....do you really think I would be anxious to warn you of the negative things I hear about Dell exactly when I hear them..To be honest, I'd rather see you all go down w/the ship to be honest> So, let me get this straight...so, you heard about the "missing sales quotas" on Monday, and, as a result of the kind of posts I (and others) have written to you in the past..... you were not anxious to warn us...so you waited until Friday....a four-day delay due-to the-depression-of-all-of-us-picking-on-you-unfairly-in-the-past post Luke, this is unreal....Why would you warn us at all (if you really felt this way)? Were you actually torn during the five-day period (Monday-Friday).... between not telling us (wrong thing) and telling us (the right thing)........In the same sentence(s) you are playing both the victim AND the hero....You are rising above and beyond the call of duty, here <g>.....the humanity of it all........Saving us (despite all the horrid posts we have written to you in the past) Get real....in the real world, if your information were true (and you really felt the way you just expressed).... you would not say anything at all (to us), and you know it... Although I am in agreement with jbn3 that the thread has become way too angry and trivial lately, I feel justified in hammering you on this one...Your defense is poor.....and IMO, you are outright lying.......Restitution, apologies will take place if (and only if) you are proven right... Don't worry, you won't hear any more from me on this until Nov. 12.... BTW- This all wouldn't have anything to due with the fact that you hold Dell put leaps, would it? Should have sold them Thursday, two weeks ago......

RE: Dribble and drivel Very close words, except "dribble" -- since it applies primarily to water -- drop by drop -- is much more sanitary and consequently less insulting than "drivel" which applies specifically to dribbling saliva or slobbering. Just as a matter of psychopathological record, why do you choose to worsen the intended insult by telling Rosser to use "drivel" instead of "dribble"? Do you actually seek to be insulted in the worst possible way?
