I wonder how many people have left the DCML because his behavior will not be corrected. I know that I've considered it many times.

Hi,
The off-topic part: A few weeks (or months?) ago, someone (was it Cord?)
put my attention to the new (third) wave of the Disney Treasures DVD
edition (region 1 only), which was scheduled to present (among other
material) the Chronological Donald Duck, the remaining color Mickey
Mouse shorts, and WWII Disney animation. The sets were announced to be
released early in December 2003. Now the Walt Disney Company has decided
to postpone the release into May of 2004 (reportedly due to capacity and
marketing reasons, and not due to censorship issues). On the other hand,
some DVDs from the first wave (Silly Symphonies, early color Mickey
Mouse shorts) are announced to be released in the UK (region 2).

I notice one thing about your speculations which I see very often... We all say
that this Don Rosa-story finds place in the early 1950's, this story finds
place in the late 1950's... Even though we know they're written in the 1990's.
I have no problem with that. No problem at all.
But why doesn't this "theory" include that other stories, like Barks' ones, are
as flexible as that?
I mean... as long as you say openly that a story written in 2003 can be
happening in 1950-something, why is it so unlikely that a story written in 1956
could be happening in 1950? Only because that story is written by Carl Barks
and not by Don Rosa?
I just find it strange, as I feel the normal attitude is "this story is written
in 2000 and is taking place appr. 1950, but it is a follow-up to a story
written in 1955, thus it must be happening after 1955".
Not meant to criticize any time theory, I just wonder why it's so normal to use
two so different theories so close together.
I've always thought of Carl Barks' stories as finding place not far away from
each other cronologically - even though they span over more than twenty years.

Hi all!
Lately I have received many comments and advice concerning the situation on
DCML. Some have been ignorant, simplifying and conclusive at the same level
of communication as I have often been accused for representing. I am for the
mostly ignoring such messages - just like many people here seems to ignore
mine of the same standards. However the rest of the messages have still made
me stop and think through the whole situation. I have asked myself an
essential question:
? what do I loose if I actually leave DCML?
I think that apart from the ability to address the forum I will probably not
loose much. I can still use Google to follow the debates in the forum, and I
can still use ordinary e-mail in order to address my friends with questions
or comments of any kind. That actually worked excellent before I joined
DCML.
**********
Therefore I have decided to leave DCML from this point.

PS! Please notice that the rudeness shown by the Dutch DCML-mafia lately has
nothing what so ever to do with my decision ? I actually strongly thought
about remaining in DCML just to show that they can't dictate my personal
decisions.

Question about a Barks's story: W US 19-04 Gyros Builds a Better
Message 187 -
2003-11-12 at 17:00:25
Hi to everybody,
Excuse me, but my english is not very good.
I have a question about the story W US 19-04 "Gyros Builds a Better House".
Carl Barks has drawn some sheets of paper, on the ground.
There are 3 of them (page 2: second and third panels, page 3: sixth panel).
These sheets of paper are postal letters, with the sender's name in show.
They don't have any bond with the plot of the history.
I have read the Italian version published on ZIO PAPERONE 7:
the names of the senders are: ALICE CALLOUS CORVALUS
(or perhaps CALLOLIS CORVALLIS), FLORE FLOUNCY Of KOKOMO,
CLAMMY SAMMY Of ALABAMMY).
Are these letters also present in the original version of the story?
If yes, what is the meaning of these letters?
Perhaps a homage to some fanses?
Thanks for the attention!
Best regards to everybody!!!

Apparently, there are no rules on DCML. Everyone can do whatever

Come to think of it, maybe the time has come to present my 150Mb

Olaf's question on time
Message 190 -
2003-11-12 at 17:30:42
Hi Olaf,
Well, hm, *my* reason for pinning Barks' stories down to their exact
date of publication is that I need *some* dates to be exact, otherwise
there isn't any logical reasoning possible. Without dates, the
reasoning would be something like "Ludwig lives in Duckburg and
Matilda in Scotland and we never see them together and all this
takes place somewhere in the 20th century in an unidentified steady-
flowing timeloop and it isn't possible to place any story before or after
another", which is also fine, because then there's less logic to bother
about.
For such 'games of logic' as my attempt to pin down a date for
Matilda's marriage and such, one *needs* 'exact' dates to *exclude*
other possibilities. The fun is that those stories weren't intended to
be absolutely logical and show logical interdependency, and still one
is able to attempt AND find a possible logical structure to connect
them.
The fun is that Don Rosa simply wasn't allowed to show Ludwig, but
that doesn't matter, because the story still makes sense (allright,
nobody's seen it yet) and one can still have a go on it by approaching
it in a 'logical' way and finding a 'logical' reason for his absence.
One could say "Ludwig has lived forever in Duckburg", but I prefer to
say "Ludwig arrived in Duckburg in 1961" [a Strobl story].
I don't think I have answered your question yet, Olaf. I think the
answer is: the logical game won't work if all stories have 'stretchable'
dates. Which dates one chooses *not* to stretch is a matter of
preference.
Greetings,
Michiel Prior.

At andebyonline.com, we've been discussing this issue for a few days. The
question raised most is: "If you found the first years of Donald Duck & Co in a
margarine box - would you sell them?" Most people say no. Others have
said "It's easy to say no when you don't have the magazines - 250.000 kroner is
lots of money! Besides, the same comic books are collected and printed in
hardcover books now, so why keep on to the originals when you can get so much
money for them?".
Personally... well, I would most certainly not *sell* these comics if I had
them. If I would *buy* them is a different issue, and I guess the answer would
be "I would strongly concider it if I could afford it". Which is why I hate
auctions - everything good goes to those who have money. I don't.
