But Canada, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, etc. also use dollars...That
being said, in this group, I always assume the poster is from the US, unless
they write something that indicates otherwise. Personally, I would much
rather people snip their posts (I'm one of the ones who has to pay to
download--telephone charges and sometimes ISP charges), as well as quote
from the post to which they are replying, than post their location. And
IMO, Nancree is one of the last people who should be complaining about
others' posting practices.
