[PW] Tor Morseth redux

[Even Flood]

Folks,

I am resending this to the list. My original reply was rejected by the
filter rule. The only reason for that as far as I can see is that it
contained a non-latin letter, the scandinavian oe which is an o with a
/ through it. Since that letter was crucial in the answer, it seems
the filter should be modified. (If that indeed was the cause. But I am
such a nice person that I cannot think of any other reason!)

BTW - including the Norwegian character in his name in the Google
search gave very good hits. Google takes those things seriously! (And
never mind clumsy English keyboards?)
