Now maybe some of you yanks will finally realize what it means to lose 30 or 40 % on exchange. And like KK pointed out, at least they are giving you 1:1 on your existing funds in your AJ accounts, that's something at least.
But just for a moment imagine how you'd feel if it wasn't just a 30% screwing on your ad campain at one site but a 40% loss on your entire web-based income. I'm not saying anyone here said it, but let's try and lay off the "bunch of whiners" comments from now on whenever you see a Canuck bitch about the USD. I think we have good reason to be a bit miffed at it.

How would this cost a US webmaster any more? We would actually make more if we get paid in Euros. The people it will hurt is the surfers and I'm sure you will see a lot less sign-ups.
Remember this will cause European surfers more as well. When billed in USD Euro surfers were getting a hell of a bargain. By charging in Euros the price has gone up just the same for both Euro surfers and US surfers.
End results will be less sign ups and webmasters bitching about crappy ratios.
