 I think you misunderstood. The point is not that it costs us some money
to respond; the point is that Digital is boasting about its wonderful
customer responsiveness and the postage-prepaid response form, only to
ignore Canadian customers. Perhaps Canadians are more sensetive to
things like this, since almost all US-based companies do it to us.

 At least they're not as bad as the companies who only give us
US-only 1-800 numbers in their ads.
