NOT AGAIN?!?
[note: this is my second draft. I wrote the real one, then took a deep breath and calmed down.]
Over on the Vue forum and several other places I keep hearing "I'm being ripped off"
Do you really think that is appropriate in this forum? This forum is about people sharing experience with this great tool and learning.
I have twice been involved with this topic with Europeans making this complaint and if you insist on pursuing your position, especially with the negativity expressed in the first post, the thread will not last long, because I for one will answer back in no uncertain terms, and you will soon stop whining and begin screaming and I will have to back out, and the moderator will freeze the thread.
First, I suggest you take this to the off-topic forum. Second, be grateful it's not 1:1 and CL charging 239 Euros.

P.S. Everseer, your instinct is right that the problem is taxes in Europe -- but it is other taxes; they are correct that the VAT is added after that price difference, just like US taxes are. They are complaining because CL did not make the price EXACTLY the exquivelent of today's exchange rate. Perhaps they want their software sold like lobster in a restaurant, changing every day at "today's market price." I'm certain that if CL DID make the price the same as the exchange at this one exact moment, that when the exchange rate comes back down they will not all send CL a nice letter saying "You can adjust the price back now, it's only fair we pay more Euros."
