I reworded the sentence about the closing of his business a bit. According to the ref Aall had to "gjøre oppbud" which mean file for bankruptcy. In my opinion it is more precise to say that, instead of saying that he had to close. Agree? Interesting article btw. Rettetast (talk) 09:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, agree. And thanks. Punkmorten (talk) 08:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
