Random (history) Earliest Complaint Letter

From 3800 years ago we haver the first angry complaint letter.

Nanni bought some copper ingots from Ea-nasir, but the copper that showed up was poor quality, and the customer service was terrible.

Nanni tells Ea-nasir that he's not taking any more crap copper from the bozo.

He wants his money back. And next time Ea-nassir tries to pull that stunt, he's shipping the whole thing back.

No word on how Ea-nasir replied. The letter was "written" by hammering cuneiform on to a stone tablet. The 5x5x1 stone tablet probably weighed over 20 pounds.

Wonder what the postage on that was?

I've moved!

Locals is turning off their free accounts and I've decided that I'd rather go back to maintaining my own site than sign up for any more "free" services that end up changing the conditions of service later.

The new site is just like this one, only no "locals" in the name. It's https://danielbmarkham.com

Please give it a shot, and please let me know if you have any problems signing up. I think I have the configuration down but you guys will be the first 100 or so to sign up, so there'll probably be some snags.
