No a Postal Money order in the US is a USPS money order. I'm the opposite to Shel I specifically refuse to accept payment by USPS money orders ( as it's very difficult for me to walk into a US PO to cash them). Yet I've had people insist that USPS money orders are as good as cash and then get in a big huff when I say that I have to send it back. Shel has every right to specify payment options which are acceptable to him and shouldn't have to bend to the wishes of the ignorant purchaser. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
