Well, that was before I joined...

That off course depend on your definition of that
term. I like to see Donaldists as other groups in
society like politicians, scientists, historians, etc.
which include both serious and less seriuos elements.
Off course there will always be subjective views about
who is serious and who is not.

Well people still distinguish between serious
politicians, scientists, historians, etc. and other
people without insulting anyone.

What you're saying here is *not wrong*, but this is
actually a matter that can be discussed. Don't forget
that many publishers treat Don Rosa as if he indeed is
THE successor of Barks, and don't forget that many
publishers do mention it on the cover when they print
Don Rosa stories. In the cover of the last DD&Co
(19/2000) Don's signature is even larger than Walt
Disney's. Some countries (like Germany) even prints
separate Don Rosa albums.

And I didn't do that... I only said that that's the
most common way to go.
