Language problem

I had a discussion with myself and the Cyberhippie wether I should put up my posts in norwegian or english. I sincerely believe that I write much better in norwegian than in english. I've been writing english a few years, but do not "play it" the way I can make norwegian play. It's like composing music. But then again, writing these things should not be an art-form. If I have something to share with the world, it's probable that I can manage to do some in english - some kind of way. Cyberhippie also made a very good point out of the fact that norwegian internetted readers population is apx 2 - 3 million. The Worlds ditto population who can read english is many hundred times as many. So I guess I'll stick with english. If this goes out, and reaches only 1 % of the population, I will be talking to alot of norwegians, say 20,000 if we use the lesser number. In english I will be reaching out to 20 million persons if we say that 2 billion people on earth can read english AND have access to internet AND 1 % of these reaches my blog. Some probability....
