I'd also appreciate if you'd add the capability to delete our accounts/past comments, that would be swell. It would also be in the spirit of EU law, while we're talking about "nationalistic" stuff, that is. Lat

If it's not a Japanese made-up term then it's a Nordic made-up term, and if not that then resort to Dutch (honorary Nordics, I guess). At least they've lost their obsession when it came to made-up German terms. Anglo mass-med
