Parallel threads in a diagonal universe
We have parallel Dell Computer threads running in General and in Legal.
Might they be merged ? Nosredna Mas |

Sam, there are 4 threads, one of which Tamara locked as a duplicate. I PM'd Staff this afternoon about it, but so far only that one thread is locked.

(pointy-eared Spock voice on)
Fascinating, Captain, it appears that these threads are growing expodentially. If the current rate of growth continues, TFL will be overwhelmed in exactly 3 days, 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 22 seconds. (pointy-eared Spock voice off)

Relax, Sam. It's a perfectly innocent typo.
He meant to say, "explodentially".

If I didn't check these threads every so often, just think of the chuckles I'd miss.

I see on that site that some people are now claiming that it was an AUTOMATED filter that bumped Weigand's order, and not a sales rep.
Any information on that?

The other thread has info from Michael Dell, his very self. Looks to me like a minor boo boo that nailed the wrong guy, was subsequently not handled well, and the gunnie steamroller is gonna be hard to stop.
Frankly, it looks to me like Dell is clean. If I were upper managment, I'd be firing some employees who stuck their noses in a big mess on the customer forum - and made it worse. They should have shut up and bounced it upstairs.

Heck and here I was giving Mike credit for a witty new word and I now find it was just a typo.
Expodentially - adv. Showing ones teeth to induce fear. Sneering like a wolf. |

Sneering or snarling ? Or....sneering while snarling = snarlering.

Mike? Witty?
To tell the tooth, I think this thread is going to the dogs.
