Did this enormous company really say "subsidiary's"?
If so, they deserve to go out of business.


Is there some special reason you posted this here?
I mean, what proportion of this NG's subscribers are Canadian K-M customers?
I mean - who cares?

Is there some special reason you posted here? I'm sure there are K-M
customers and also some Canadians in this group. They may care.

I care. I'm Canadian and own a Konica Minolta Dimage A200. Now I have to
purchase my accessories from the States. Yuck!

So what? I guess you never considered this is the WORLD wide web and not the
United States wide web?

Well it is a digital camera newsgroup.

I mean, what proportion of this NG's subscribers are Canadian K-M
customers?

Ah so we should only allow posts about what Canon and Nikon do in the USA?

I mean - who cares?

Probably people in camera who use KM products.

Do you reply to all posts on all NG's that you don't care about? Must
keep you quite busy.

Ah, a Yank are you?
Ever heard of the United Kingdom? Funnily enough, there are other
continents than North America. There's a little one, it's called Europe.

I couldn't give a bugger what they do in the USA frankly.

So you must believe this is the United Kingdom wide web?

Exactly my point.

There's a little one, it's called Europe.


And another called Canada.

Or Canada either it seems or do you think Canda and the USA are the same
country? Guess you need to start a rec.photo.digital.slr-systems.UK ?

Well done. And if I said I was from Abyssinia you would, impressively quick
as a flash, have asked if I thought this was the Abyssinian Wide Web.

I think you missed out the "little".

I would prefer rec.photo.digital.slr-systems.abyssinia please.
