Actually Tim,
I don't have as much problem with it as my previous posts might imply. Sorry
for coming across as offensive. Thinking other's customs are strange, and
showing a degree of tolerance works both ways though.
The whole thing started of course, because of Dag's photo, and a number of
us responded with requests to post a warning in the future, which he agreed
to do, unless he forgets. I think that's fair.
However, IMO, he's continued to display some degree of belligerence after
that fact, which probably has perpetuated this thread. It's probably time
to let it drop, n'est pas?

Pardon me saying this Tom: but the "run about like naked animals" part
sounds very ethnocentric in my ears. To be totally strait with you, I find
it rather offensive.
In Norway, it is totally common to let children have fun, with or without
clothes. When they get shy, they start wearing clothes at the beach. That's
our customs. I don't find anything wrong about that. You may think this is
strange, but to us, it's completely natural.
If you think twice, before responding to this, I think you see my point ;-)
