Remember that thread just last year where tipping was denounced by
nearly everyone here???

I'm not European, and I still think tipping is a load of ****, and
very rarely do it.

[quote=bill frogg]Here's my method; I get about USD 100 in Euros from a currency exchange
bureau, not a bank (banks are sooo completely clueless about small
foreign currency transactions} I use AFEX here in SF.

So, naive question, perhaps, but what is a currency exchange bureau and how do I go about finding one? Your strategy sounds good (and we'll report the largest Euro amount that gets change for a beer in Germany.)

surprisingly - German

this might have to do with the fact that Austria was compelled by EU
regulations to stop admission exams to univesities,

This can't be the whole story. UK universities still have
admission exams and no EU regulation has stopped them

No I haven't, I have proven myself right.

Ok, where do we go from here?

Only Oxford and Cambridge in recent history had entrance exams, and AIUI
they have pretty much abandoned them now (but not because of the EU).

A number of us have asked him nicely, but it had no effect.

To me if you have to worry about top or bottom posting you are taking
computers entirely too seriously. I personally rather prefer the top
posting so that one does not have to bother to pour through a thread. I
should note, that I date from the period in computer communication when
you could only post, there was no such thing as top or bottom posting
because you could not include the previous post in your response. I
wonder if that may still not be best. I think top posting may still be
the default when using 'vi' to generate responses (although I haven't
used the workstation for that in many years now).
