I should have read your article before I came here in Norway. I wonder how were you able to observe these pointers where I will assume that you are already used to it. Lol.

Anyway, nice article and you rock… By the way, I am a newbie in CI and it rocks as well. I have strong interest in EE. Do you have any pointers on how to get grip with it?

Do not smile in Norway, it is by far the safest. In fact, it is safest to regard all Norwegians with the greatest possible doubts you can conjure, resulting in their immediate trust and perhaps a friend for life, maybe even one you want.

There is some truth in it though, which was illustrated to me once again today when I could not find frozen cranberries in the supermarket :angrysmiley:
