I know, it's pretty ridiculous. Unless a company doesn't ship to Canada, I don't see why they'd not want to advertise to us. Although even when companies don't ship to Canada, I'll often find their product on eBay - so it's ridiculous that they don't want us to know about their products. And this goes for the rest of the world as well - Microsoft might not sell the Zune outside the US, but people all around the world are buying Zunes.

That would be nice, but they offered me an apology and nothing more.

That's great Karen, thank you for your support. I believe really firmly that if every time someone visited a Web site, they clicked on an ad they found interesting, we'd see even more great content from publishers - because more of them would be able to afford to do this full time.
