No, John. The gripe is that you appear to be too impatient to sit still long enough for anyone to help you. The reason you were given a hard time about buying from third party (after someone from this list recommended said 3rd party) is simply because you came back to this list and said you should have waited for a response from your Dell rep....and you should have. In the end, it doesn't matter where you get components such as keyboards, mice, etc....it comes down to price combined with comfort level you have with the vendor. If someone here recommends a vendor, it is because they had a good experience and felt that they got good value. Period.
More than once you've come here asking for advice and we've tried to help, only to be told you've gone in a different direction without waiting for the advice you specifically requested. Thus aggravated the group, because we could have taken our time to help someone else who was willing to wait and take advice, or because we could have done something else more productive with our time. Friendly suggestion....if you are willing to wait for the consensus of the group, then ask a question. If you can't or aren't willing to wait, then respect the group's time (and save some face for yourself) by not posting in the first place. The same would apply to your Dell rep or any other party from whom you are trying to solicit advice or assistance. Just my $0.02. YMMV, especially if you stopped reading before you got this far because you decided to try and find a bigger, better answer.
