- I am not pretty sure, if this works. Does anybody have experience with
- limiting the distribution to US ?
-
- Another thing is, that I don't think, it is a problem with the
- distribution. In the UK and in Germany there are large dedicated
- sites as well as in the US and there might be a lot of people, who
- want to view the pictures. I don't want to bee the cause,
- that hundreds (or thousands :-)) of coaster enthusiasts in Europe can't
- get the pictures anymore.

- Bye for now,

- Thorsten.
