I'm too busy right now.  That's why I just poured out my file for you
all without even incorporating some info some of you had already
posted to the list.  I just wanted to make it available to anyone who
might be interested in compiling all such info.

On the other hand I will probably dig through old posts and enter any
info I find into my list in the future if noone else wants to
coordinate such a list, so any "Bucky Bug is XXX in Sawbuggian" type
of post will eventually be taken care of.

What I will do, starting as of now, is to include a small dictionary
of the names of the most popular characters in English and the native
language of the new subscriber in the welcome message to new
subscribers (when their native language, as guessed by their
geographic position, isn't English).  Is that a good idea?
That might even be useful (which Daisy's name in Serbocroatian
probably isn't...).

I'm sorry to hear that Gare' Barks is dead by the way.  I was
surprised to hear that, as I've always (without any particular reason)
pictured Unca Carl going first.

BTW (again): I and Harry seem both to be unsure of who is who of
Fifer and Fiddler Pig.  Anyone knows?
