    ...he tried to buy a printer on eBay, but was refused by the vendor when it was discovered he lived in Vancouver. David Ingram received notification that his winning bid of $24.50 had been canceled, along with this message: "At the present time, we do not ship to, or accept bids from, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany or any other country that does not support the United States in our efforts to rid the world of Saddam Hussein. If you are not with us, you are against us." http://www.wired.com/news/ebiz/0,1272,58190,00.html[^] disgusting. -c

      Yeah, this bit with the NHL teams and the national anthems is getting childish as well. :| Mike Mullikin :beer:

          Before all NHL games they play both the US and Canadian national anthems because there are franchises in both countries. A few months ago, a bunch of American morons booed during the Canadian anthem in protest of something (I don't remember the details.) Recently a bunch of Canadian morons booed during the US anthem in protest of the Iraq situation. This morning I heard that a few US franchises refused to even play the Canadian anthem before the game. Just a bunch of childish weasels! Mike Mullikin :beer:

I know Major League Baseball is done that way, but I thought NHL did both every time. I've only been to one NHL game (Blackhawks vs. Red Wings), but it was nearly 20 years ago and I don't remember.

In other words - the players would be the ones beat up - not the audiance. Having said that it is rather stupid to argue like little childern at a hockey game. If youwant to protest - stay home and donate the money to the charity of your choice. That way evrybody benefits - you get to protest and someone somewhere gets something that the desperatly need.

                                  If the auction specifically did not say that the seller does not ship to, or accept bids from, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany or any other country that does not support the United States in the shipping procedures, I would certainly give them some negative feedback. On eBay, that would seriously effect their ability to be trusted.

                                        Right. Maybe the term got lost in translation, or something. London is a big city, but not *that* big!! Milton Keynes is a town about 50 miles from London. So it's a bit like calling, say, Westport CT a suburb of New York. Debbie
