Then you should ignore those articles. Others like being helpful, and
see no need to charge for that. Remember that you are fundamentally

This is an international medium - even if you do not mention actual

accept.

Good for them. But businesses don't like betting on if-comes.

Not in this group. That should be evident by now. If not, you
haven't been paying attention.

US dollars. Of course, I believe my payment service does conversions
for many currencies.

get it right... ok, good analogy.

Uh, you laughed *at* him, not with him.
