when i think of israel i think of a proud and powerful nation with one of the best intelligence agencies in the world (mossad). i dont think FJ are trying to make any kind of statement by not listing israel but i do see ur point tho.

I never implied of any sort of discrimination. Just wanted to know the politics or mechanics of how the machine works.

I'm the kind of person who has to open up his mp3 player to see how it works. The kind that opens up the computer and experiments. The kind that wants to know what's going on behind the scenes of the play. That's just my character. Wanting to know is an important part of me.

Wasn't worried at all about anything, just letting the guys know how I felt about the matter. In reality, even if I were to now live in the US I'd still say that I'm uncomfortable with the other widely recognized countries being left in the dark. Again, just part of my personality.

We hope no-one will be 'left in the dark' - our intention with the drop-down list wasn't to exclude certain countries but to cover those most likely to be signing up in the time between opening to everyone, and getting the 'other' country category added.

As someone else has already said, it would be pretty difficult for us to list every single country (apart from anything else, the drop-down list would be massive! ). We went by a list of most Internet users by country, which is obviously our target market, but we are happy to accept worldwide customers and hope to update our sites this weekend to facilitate that properly.

Sorry for any offence/confusion caused.

Uh, no offence spotted.

Anyway. All is clear to me now. Thanks!

i know how u feel. whenever something of mine breaks, whether it be a hifi or a laptop or any other item, i take it out back and smash it to pieces. i chuck it around then get a sledgehammer and mangle it completely lol

i like seeing the insides of tech stuff, but also love smashing stuff for some reason

Um, may I suggest therapy? You definitely have some issues you may wanna work out. Chances are, you're gonna be an abusive father. Don't hurt 'em, 'k?

Ha-ha. I was half-kidding.

Actually, I, too, enjoy what you enjoy. Guess we have something in common.

Seriously, though, I wonder where this desire stems from.
Do you also have a dark humour?
