Not having had to suffer subtitles myself, I can't answer your questions, Bernd. But I know several FoLCs who've been equally frustrated - I'll leave it to Kaethel to mention the now infamous confusion French TV had with Lois' teddy.
The foreign titles do seem to be somewhat lacking, generally, in charm. <g> Or even deep thought. But I suppose they weren't paid to be creative there.
Anyway, all I really wanted to do was say welcome to our playground and I'm glad you're having so much fun and leaping right in to join us!
