I only point this out in the interests of fairness, since one of my passtimes is sending complaining e-mails to US sites who have great special offers on the front page, ask you three pages of questions about yourself, then ask for your address... including ZIP code. At the foot of the fourth page or so of the form, in tiny print, it will inevetably say "open to residents of the United States and Canada only"... smiley - grr
