I dunno about the rest of the world but here in Holland we can put stickers on our mailboxes saying I don't want any marketing leaflets and/or free local newspapers etc, which is in my eyes just snail-mail spam. I want the same stickers on my email mailbox, and this is the first step towards that. If I don't want spam I don't want spam not even if the sender payed to get it delivered.

The Euro

The drop of value of the Euro ain't that bad. It makes international trade flourish because our products become cheaper to the outside world. Ofcourse, American products etc become more expensive to us Europeans, so we are more eager to buy European products instead - boosting economy too.
I hope the prices that went up will go down again soon.. No way to really tell.. Competition generally fixes that kind of stuff pretty well, but all dutch know CompactDisc-prices are already helt artificially high for years now.
BTW, Having a single currency for multiple nations/doesn't/ mean the coin has the same value for every nation! A slice of bread still varies alot in price across Europe.
