Actually Lasse, the second part of the sentence is the part that had me worried:
'wouldn't like to cause anyone no harm'
You have two negative terms in there, so it really says: 'would like to
cause anyone harm'. Is this my bad understanding of the English
language? I can't imagine you are a guy who wants to do harm. I must be
missing something here:-)
