Like I said, rubbish excuse!
I actually find buying US stamps alot cheaper than IRC. Instead of sending 2xIRC at £2.80 I send $2.10 (my preference, most send with one $1.05) of stamps. For 20 US stamps I pay roughly £14 and get 10 requests out of it
So £1.40 per request, half the cost of IRC's.
Of course this is only an advantage for the US because of the stamps. I have in the past done the odd request to France and Ireland, in which case too expensive/too much hassle to get stamps. Now I would send a 5 EURO note which works out more expensive than IRC.
