Really? I've just counted 4 weeklies with whole-page ads for the
calendar since ultimo October in Denmark (not counting that
subscribers-only supplement)

I'm not sure about the availability in the stores, though. A couple of
months ago I incidently saw the calendar in a "Bog & Id?" book store,
and after that I have been to another "Bog & Id?" store, a "GAD" book
store, and a "B.O." book store (all major Danish chains) without seing
it (and without looking for it in particular, either)

I ordered the calendar for a friend directly through Egmont
Serieforlaget, though. About a week and it was at my place.

Unlike spamming - this was *not* intended. As you will
see in another posting I have explained that this was
caused by my WEB-mail system. So please stop making a
point out of this - it only makes things worse.

Sigvald :-)

For Sigvald: My E-mail address is on DCML...-and I have not been bombarded with
American, or any other type of spam! Per Starback has done a great job of
protecting DCML and its members (at least from receiving problems initiated
through DCML.

I am still receiving very few SPAM messages, as is normal. As Soeren and others
have stated, spam filters cannot screen out ALL spam. If they were to screen
out enough "types" of messages to stop ALL spam, you would also lose a large
percentage of the ordinary messages from your OWN contacts. I believe that MY
primary provider's spam filter being so strong, is the reason my French friends
on WANADOO cannot reach my provider provided e-mail box,- and they CAN get
messages through to my YAHOO (web-based) e-mail box. There are SEVERAL DCML
members that use my YAHOO box and have given up on my other box (even though
I've told them that I prefer private mails to the lafn box). This shows me what
happens when a provider attempts to screen out most or all SPAM. Regular e-mail
then becomes useless!!!

Sigvald,- Please ask your computer related questions PRIVATELY to a
knowledgeable contact of yours in a private mail. For example, questions about
DCML's operation could better be answered by Per. I cannot speak for others on
DCML, but most of us are very nice people, who would likely answer a computer
question. The people who have already answered your virus questions and this
last one might be good sources to go to in future.

Sorry, everyone, for this long off-topic message.

I will again provide a Disney theme Holiday card for the group. I hope others
will also do this, as they (Don, Timo and others) did over the last several
years. I can't wait to see what they look like.

You sent this mail twice on purpose, didn't you? ;-)

Not true! Two comics were just introduced in the USA in the last month
which
have lots of pages on cheap newsprint. Both have more than 200 pages
per
issue for less than $5 US. I hope they both do well and this is the
start of
more affordable comics in the USA.

Time will tell, of course. My point wasn't that such comics are never
produced anymore, but that they don't seem to be successful any more.
If that trend reverses, so much the better for comics fans.

while the books dont do anything for me, i saw a large display at a
BooksAMillion; hopefully at the pricepoint, it will do well --- $5 for 200 is
cheap enough for impulse item, and expensive enough for stores to use space
to stock....
if it does well, maybe Gladstone will do something similar....
