If it is for some stupid subscription then I just enter garbage (even though I live in the US). Figure why do they need to know all that in the first place. If it is for some serious business then I dump that web site because if they cant even get this part straight then how can I trust them with getting anything else done right. :-) If they are the only provider of a service that I desperately need, then I try and contact them. :-)

Somehow, I can never get myself to say I am from Alabama.... lol choosing a random state is a lot better....

Well a good ZIP code check should check for a valid zip code. and zip codes do not need to start with 9. Alabama? yuck!!!!! shiver!!!!!!!! least you can do is choose a cool state. :-) Montana or Alaska.

Fix the thing, and provide the option for users to add contries (with your approval off ofcourse), if they were already registered I would let them add it automatically. -Steven

If you sign up for a magazine subscription, they're likely to send you the coloring book edition. The Beverage of the Month Club will only send beer, and the retail catalogs you receive won't have shoes in them. On the bright side, though, any spam you get will be composed with nice, short monosyllabic words.:) It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

This happened to me with a QuickBooks SDK order, it caused the shipment to never arrive even though I manually typed in all the relevant information because I couldn't select my province but they provided a text area to type in the extra information. Apparently it did get shipped to Alabama according to the QB guy I eventually got a hold of on the phone, who knows what they ended up doing with it there. I complained bitterly to them for being so shortsighted (as is my wont) ;) And I too always pick 90210 when asked for a US area code, but I think everyone should make a point of emailing and complaining if they can't find another service that is aware that there are actually people using the internet that live outside the U.S.

d) mail the web master that 1) he misses my favorite country, namely Folk-Metal-Country 2) WTF is "French Country"? 3) And why is the Smith&Wesson-Country so popular in Texas not included? 4) If he sells to much advertising space to "dueling Banjos, Inc." You are reconsidering signing up.

It's this very attitude of the great U S of bloody A, that really gets on the tits of every other nation on earth (well especially us brits). i.e this idea that America is the centre of the Universe, the sun revolves around america. That any american champions in a 2 bit sport that the only the americans play seriously e.g. baseball (or should I say rounders), are automatically dubbed 'WORLD champions'.... the 'World Series....blah blah'. Then they have the audacity to ignore the world's greatest game played by every other nation on earth with a passion, and not only that they rename it 'soccer', so that it doesnt CONFUSE their people with that amazingly witless game they play in pathetic costumes. God it makes me puke. This same attitude is the one responsible for crappy forms which only show American states, and zip codes. Im not sayin I hate america, or its people, but the fact is, 'on average' they are probably the least intelligent, most arrogant, most self-centred, most ignorant nation on earth. (France pushes them close though -but thats another long rant :) ); :mad: "Life begins at 140"

Who says i'm angry? I was stating simple facts. Plus it seems you got no sense of humour. Your ID says 'Brit', but you seem to be another clueless american who doesnt understand british wit. :laugh: "Life begins at 140"
