I HAD REQUESTED DELIVERY OF THE MIROR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I RECEIVED DELIVERY FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

: Robert, this is an encyclopedia.  We don't sell mirrors (or even encyclopedias, really). So I think you're asking at entirely the wrong website, I'm afraid. -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 00:07, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

::Yes, the meaning of your comment has been changed, due to a context alteration [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Newcomers%27_help_desk&diff=3207025&oldid=3206971]. -- [[User:Tim Starling|Tim Starling]] 03:54, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)

:One must occasionally wonder about people like our friend here.  Are they really serious?  Do they think the internet is one giant organization, so if you buy something at one site, and ask about it somewhere else, it doesn't matter because it's all the same people?  I'd think it was a joke, but I've seen more than one of these and it can't be ''that'' funny. [[User:Isomorphic|Isomorphic]] 04:57, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

::A while (admittedly, a fairly long while) ago a friend of mine manned the helpdesk at [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]].  Much of her time was spent dealing with folks who'd bought (or more likely failed to buy) stuff online, couldn't figure out from whom the'd (not) bought it, and so complained to Netscape, citing them as being somehow responsible because their browser had been used. So yes, lots of people think it's all the same people (some of them are congressmen) -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 01:01, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

::As a matter of fact, I am the head of a nonprofit organization whose name happens to be the same as that of a registration system for college enrollments. We get a bunch of request from prospective students complaining they have not received their ID number, even though it's fairly clear from reading our WWW pages that we are not in the least involved in registering college students.[[User:David.Monniaux|David.Monniaux]] 07:22, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
