byrdie: ok, i'm going to say to you what i said to any of my friends when they lost an auction because seller refused to ship to their country:
you did not want the item! it was (old/moldy/the wrong size or color/incompatible and your spouse/kids/pets would hate it!

translation: if it were the right thing you would have gotten it. why would anybody tell you you cannot DOWNLOAD if you are in a forgeign country??? shipping is one thing (customs) but a download?

you don't want to deal with that site (and neither do i, trust me. i love to grrr at them but i don't know where they live).

shame on them and i'm sorry they rejected you. you will find a better one!

ok, that is my bitchandmoan contribution :)

as an artist: nothing is truly 'free'. somebody spent the time creating that 'freebie'. somebody thought it up and designed it and then made it work and put it where the universe could get it.
one should NEVER just snatch something without thanking the artist! this is as bad as kids snatching candy trick-or-treating and not saying thank you.

if you ever want more freebies thank the ones who make them and give them a reason to want to make more :)

ok...that was the soapbox part ;)

i don't do 'shy' if anyone had not noticed. i will always take the side of the underdog. :)
