<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Luis, post: 627659, member: 17336&quot;]Krispy:</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for the lesson on the history of drama and the origin of the term soap as applied in this context. However, I was already very aware of the former, and by no means did I ever state that the TV format had no predecessors. Rather, I merely stated that the reason why they are around is that people like them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the major point, comparing the Euro to the situation being debated makes no sense. We&#039;re not dealing with a major change in people&#039;s lives here. We&#039;re not forcing little old ladies and gents to learn how to deal with a totally different currency after 70 or 80 years of dealing with the old, familiar system. It is but a very simple change: so far we had this bill right here, and from now on we&#039;ll have this coin right here. I&#039;m all for campaigning and informing the public of the reasons for the change, when it will take place, and how long it will last, but I fail to see the reason for all this drama, just like I failed to see the reason for all the drama when the Euro came along.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
