Well this shows how difficult communication via
the internet can be. It was not my intention at
all to draw any conclusions on you behalf. I
can now see that I should have dropped the
quess in h end of that posting. I am indeed
very sorry for this.

Well, I can ensure you and everybody else here
that nothing there was written with the purpose
of offending anybody.

Hmmm... I did recently state that Van Horn is
"one of the best". I have previously stated
that I like the various artists like Paul Murry,
Floyd Gottfredson, etc. very much. I have also
staded that I like the Italian "Mickey Mouse
time travelling stories very well".

I think that "over-focused" may be a better word
than "single-minded" here.

That's great news for everybody here!

That is indeed great news!

But please, I did never assume that Pascal
Pierrey wasn't a great Duckfan or a fan of you
- I only assumed he was replaced by someone
else with an other attidude.
