In the beginning, I chose it because Thalion Krisman, the DMCC at the time, was a fellow Norwegian.... I've since learned that while my initial reason was likely the most shallow of all, it was the right decision for me.

Initially, I chose for the completely wrong reason, Thalion was the CC at the time, and I just wanted to be in the "norwegian" Company....
