First: I was *not* complaining about including Chinese names in the modern
Internet-based Disney Character's Names data bases - I was *only*
complaining about the missing Swedish and Finnish names in the 10 language
list presented in the book "Jeg, Mikke Mus" in 1976!

The resent debate here on DCML about these Chinese names just happened to
trigger some two and a half decades old irritation of mine.

And now Jørgen does the same thing by claiming that I was the only one who
was irritated by the missing Swedish and Finnish names in the 10 language
list presented in the book "Jeg, Mikke Mus" in 1976!

OK, some people here has (in order to present a correct opinion?) stated
that they had an other opinion about this than me in the 1970's. So what?
What we know for sure is that we DCMLers do *not* represent the average
reader of Disney comics - I guess that we are what the average reader will
call "nerds".

There are IMO thus no reason to claim that my view is less representative
for the average Norwegian reader than is the "correct view" about this.

It's *not* my problem if my opinions are embarrassing for other Norwegians
here. I guess I have the same rights to present my own opinions and be taken
seriously as you and this Klaus <PLONK!> Harms.

Anyway I am very sorry for way I presented the posting about "Swedes and
Character names" – I guess that I must have been to much influenced by
Svinesen and other mothern way of arguing and presenting ones views.

Sigvald :-)
