No, of course not. But in the case we're discussing here, you are actually getting what you wanted and requested. So I suggest that the taxi analogy is inapposite. How about this one, -- you order a blue shirt. You receive the package and the pre-printed note says that they're sorry but they were out of blue shirts in your size, so they sent this red one in your size instead. But you can see clearly that the shirt is the blue one you actually ordered. Do you call the company to scold them for their error? Or do you just keep the shirt you ordered?

Well played, Miss X Melon (but the rolleyes were unnecessary, -- let's all play nicely in the sandbox and not be unkind to each other).
