Sorry - some misunderstanding here, perhaps my fault. The Swedish part
was only to have the possebility to read the magazine: Ply, nothing

I was nostalgic in a way and somehow advocating for actual joining The
SSDF (I think we're around 300 members at the time, but I'm certainly
not sure and BTW about to leave myself).

relevant.
