Olaf asked me to forward this to the list, since he forgot to CC the DCML (how many anagrams can I come up with in one sentence?) so I said that AFIK, I can do that ASAP.

That was quoted from Daniël. But, may I add: This was NOT posted as anyone's 
opinion.

This annoyed Daniël, which wrote:

So: The one WRITING the quoted paragraph, was Sigvald - but he wrote it about 
Geoffrey Blum, not Don Rosa. So nobody really SAID this about Don Rosa, except 
Daniel, which said it just to state an example.

Hope that's cleared up now.
