As as ex-European may I express strong endorsment of Herbert Burkert's
remarks. It is very frustrating, and should be illegal restraint of
trade, for a US supplier to refuse supply to some countries. We
made arrangements with colleagues in the USA to avoid such
constraints.

Good companies who wish to truly support their customers should
avoid giving local distributors 'exclusive' rights. Let them
compete in terms of price and service. The value in good will
and reputation alone of not refusing to supply customers who
want to buy from you is justification enough.

It is a pity to see Niles falling into this old trap.
