lol - this one's a good one.

so even after all the bitching and moaning about not crossposting, I should
ALWAYS check for the idiot who did right.

I am not saying that the US is the only country out there.  I am not saying
that the US is the only one that calls it's currncy Dollars and uses the
symbol $.  My reaction to read $ as US dollars simply stems from the fact
that I live in the US, and are exposed to the US dollar in every aspect of
my life.  What I am saying is that if this person had not CROSSPOSTED, or
specified a specific monetary unit and origin, none of this would have
happened.
