Here is an alternative link that may work better for us who are not in Britain:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFr...505622,00.html
I thought the article was very insightful. Toward the bottom, it mentions the B of A debit card / U.S. Postal Service money order debate.
The article's tone was slightly condescending, however, making us all sound kind of crazy. (Are we?) The reporter also observed that "in the United States" frequent flyer miles have become the subject of divorce proceedings. So, in the more civil Britain, this has never yet occurred? I find that hard to believe.
