Re:Dear EA the reason why your offer was declined.

I know I'll probably get modded off-topic (or flamebait) for this but it's relevant to the parent post and I'm curious- what is it with everyone in countries other than the US being so proud of how their currency is doing? I mean, when I go to countries where the US dollar is more valuable than the local currency I'm happy because stuff is cheaper, but it's not something I care enough about that I go bragging about it. But when I was up in Canada when their dollar overtook the US dollar, and that's all every Canadian I met could talk about. Now the US dollar is (slightly) back up on the Canada dollar, but I didn't even hear about it here and I know that very few Americans actually give a crap. Of course, maybe that lack of caring is why the US dollar is dying...
