well, I am interested in penetrating into the numbers of your discussion, so that's good reading. I am still trying to grasp the complexity. But I was hoping to avoide comments like this "operaguy, with all of this please keep in mind that the dollar is far less worth then the euro.... thanks to Bush :-)" since I am far to the right of President Bush and have a completely opposite opinion of why the Euro has inflated up 30% do to the fault of Europe. We should perhaps avoid those comments, since the last time I defend the US the attacks on me were so intense they had to freeze the thread. Soo.....taking the focus off "that the customer is paying more" and being outraged, let me ask you all this. Who should bear the burden of the exchange rate? Yes, you may be outraged that E-On is attempting to maneuver to make you pay it (I am not saying they are...I don't know), but aren't you basically thinking that THEY should bear it? How is that anymore morally correct? ::::: Opera :::::
