Mindless whining doesn't get you anything.
If it wouldn't get you anywhere with Dell, why do you think it would

There's a considerable difference between genuine criticism and
vague whining. If your behavior would get you told off by a PAID
support person if not for the fact that they would likely lose their

is still a protocol to follow.
