What you people can never understand is that extremely few of us will
bother to go out to the bank, wait at a teller line up & pay the
outrageous exchange for U.S. Currency, & there's no doubt in my mind
that any Yank seeing Cnd $ will be pissed & realize it's worthless ( by
the way, you would have to be a fool to put a loonie in an envelope.

So don't advertise your Yankee scams on our newsgroups & this is for
software developers, not gullible dummies.
