Sigvald's universe

I enjoy listing what I know about Carl Barks. I don't enjoy the 
discussing around it. In fact, I'm sick of it! So, I'm now at the 
point of just contributing what I know, without paying any attention 
to Sigvald himself anymore.

The discussion is not just about opinions, but about wrong information.
*That's* what bothers me.

Please, Kai. When Sigvald writes something, his words often already 
*have* the worst possible meaning!

I understand your email, but I object against victimizing Sigvald. 
People have had an enormous lot of patience with him. For months. 
Sigvald has got lots of chances, and he *still* gets chances. But he 
just keeps going on with forcing Don Rosa's name into discussions, 
almost as if he's being paid for it.

So, I don't want to hear anything like "please people, don't be so 
hard on Sigvald". That's putting the situation upside down, IMO.
