That only indicateds that you are even more narrow-minded: You don't accept any
other music than that you yourself like and you refuse to understand other cul-
tures than your own. We Finns have bathed in sauna for about 2000 years. How 
long has your American culture existed?

You also show that you are ignorant. We are used to the heat, it makes us 
relax. We don't use sticks, but small branches with leaves still in them tied
together. And about rolling in snow...I haven't done it for a little while, but
it is refreshing.                                               

And hey, are you sure that your forefathers weren't Finns??

Sorry about that earlier article...your article made me furious and I didn't
think before typing. You see, we Finns have a short fuse.

I still think that you should reconsider your attitude towards metal. Try to
get rid of your prejudices.
