For further (and more entertaining) reading on topics discussed in this issue of LotFP, see Isten 100 and METAL issues Diamonds and Rust and Reborn Through Hate.
After spending time overseas, I do believe it is a sign of disrespect and ignorance for English language writers to not use proper characters such as (but certainly not limited to) å, ä, and ö when typing the names of people from other nations. I know I've done it plenty of times in the past, but it's never too late to stop being a dumb fuck. The letters aren't that difficult to find in a word processing program, and it can easily be taken care of it in editing with a find/replace command so the going doesn't have to be slow while writing, and taking the effort means being a halfway intelligent human being.
For old subscribers, this is considered issue #65. Your final issue number is on your mailing label.
There will be further issues of LotFP but I will not even guess when at the present time.
I'd like to thank Kråklund Shåp for their hospitality and cooperation in allowing my access to their stock for a research project. www.kraklund.com. Pitkäkatu 59, 65100 Vaasa, Finland. Phone: (06)3194 723.
