Yes, I do also remember this story, and managed to find it unusually easy.
Fountain of Youth D 3133. Published in Finland Aku Ankka 20/1976. Fast paced
story where ducks travels to south pole and find warm valley in middle of
ice. There's also this fountain of youth. Scrooge actually transforms into
egg when he falls in to the fountain!
Writer of the story is unknown.

A month ago I wrote a script in which there is a one-panel gag about
bean sprouts. My editor did some research, discovered we couldn't use a
bean sprout in this context and had me go on the Net to find a
substitute for the plant. I ended up spending half an hour of my working
day on this - as well as having to pay my Internet provider for the 30
minutes, obviously. All this for a throw-away one-panel gag that I doubt
most readers would notice anything wrong with. But it was the right
thing to do.

I'm currently writing a story that takes place in a country similar to
the Netherlands. (But not the same!) I went to the library and read two
books about the Netherlands, just to get a feeling for the place. I'm
expecting to go on the Net later today and do more research - or
possibly visit the library and read another book or two. Not because I
have to (the story doesn't take place in the actual Netherlands,
remember) - but because I feel I should in order to get the right
"vibe".

A few years ago I came up with a story about ants. I read four books
about ants, just to find out what kind of ants I should use. Not because
it would've made any difference to the happenings of the story, or
because most readers would've noticed, but because *I* needed to know. I
needed to know what to tell the artist to draw.

I have many more examples. True, not all of my stories are this
demanding, but many of them are.

My editors spend a lot of time checking facts. I happen to know that the
Danish translator of the weekly is very dedicated to his job. And we
both know about Carl Barks' and Don Rosa's research. Which means that in
every case where I know a writer's, editor's or translator's approach to
his or her job, I know they take it seriously.

Sorry, the only possible strategy is either ignoring the spam mail or setting
up a spam filter on your computer. Spam mailers collect eMail addresses via
spiders, which are programms which automatically browse the WWW and collect
eMail addresses. So sooner or later everybody who posts to DCML is indexed
because DCML messages are archived in the Mail Archive as well as in the
Newsgroups archive on Google:

P.S.: Here you find a hillarious article by someone who actually tried to
contact one of the infamous spammers which offer million dollar transactions:

Hello!

I'm gathering information for an article about various Disney comic-book
artists, and I'd like to know whether Jack Bradbury and Frank McSavage are
still alive. Does anybody on this list know? (In the case of McSavage, it
sounds unlikely since he was born in 1903.)

Ducky wishes,

I guess not, since they seem to be using different e-mail programs.
