Janeway did meet a Delta Quadrant personality of Seven's - it was a Krenim scientist I think...

Janeway did talk to a Krenim scientist. Didn't a Kazon also show up as well?

There was a Kazon crewmember in the 'revised' history in "Living Witness" Season 4

Seven said that the Borg didn't assimilate the Kazon. "They're not WORTHY! They're not WORHTY!!!!!!!" If she did manifest a Kazon personality in "Infinite Regress" (I think that was the name) it was a writing mistake.
Although that line about not assimilating the Kazon always bothered me. Why would they pass up an opportunity to add a few drones to their ranks. Their stupidity wouldn't matter in the collective.

I'll have to check "Infinite Regress" again. I don't like the episode too much, but I'm going to write a review anyway. Maybe the Kazon biology was assimilated, but not the technology. I know, bad excuse, but suited for Encyclopedia IV.

I don't believe she ever showed a Kazon personality in "Infinite Regress".

Well, it's entirely possible that the Borg assimilated a single Kazon ship, and that's how they figured out that it wasn't worth the trouble to assimilate any more of them.

Or, while the Collective has no desire to consume the entire Kazon species, it isn't opposed to grabbing any ship foolish enough to stick around when a cube passes by.

Was that line about the Kazon? I was thinking it was Talaxians for some reason. Either way that line always bothered me. It seems inconsistant for the borg to waste potential resources like that.

Seven said that the Talaxian musculature made them "excellent drones." But apparently the Talaxians weren't interesting enough for the Borg to decide to assimilate them wholesale.

Yes, Seven uttered her usual "your biological and ... has been added to the Collective". At first I shuddered upon the possibility that the whole race could have been assimilated, for some reason I like them, but then she said that it was a single vessel.
I reckon that there are two basic strategies: First, assimilating just enough of a species to get their technology. This is possible by assimilating single ships, for most of the technology is supposed to be found there. Second, assimilating whole civilizations to get their infrastructure, raw material, energy and man power, i.e. drones.

It makes sense for the Borg to assimilate a few members of each species they encounter to learn about them. I guess when they assimilated some Kazons the Borg figured they wern't worth it.

Visions in sickbay (in order of appearance): human girl, unknown alien, red SF man, Bajoran(?) uniform, unknown alien, blue SF woman, pig-like alien, another Bajoran, another(?) Klingon, yellow SF woman, "ribbed face" alien as seen at DS9, unknown alien, the first Bajoran again, an alien looking like Tosk, Cardassian, from then on the appearances repeat.
Visions during mind-meld: essentially the same as in the other scene, plus a Romulan, plus another Klingon.
