Norm is going to the use the opportunity to see the sights around Thailand. It is nice to see at least one person has some guts and has not been frightened into submission by those terrorist ratbags. Good on you Norm! ------------------ Ray Derrick President Panalogic Corporation Pty Limited 44 Carrington Road Castle Hill NSW 2154 Australia Phone: 61 (0)2 9894 6655 Fax: 61 (0)2 9894 6935  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

What about all the non-US participants, or the not afraid-to-travel folks? Why should they have to suffer? Sounds like a "take my ball and bat and go home" situation, if Richard's reason is correct. Or is Cine-Asia actually just the "USA cine-stuff show"?  |  IP: Logged Pat Moore Master Film Handler Posts: 363 Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-29-2001 01:06 PM                     Hi; I'll probably be over there as well during that time frame. Now I just get to visit a few extra countries instead of meeting those people in Bangkok. Works for me... Pat  |  IP: Logged
