Interesting article, but "The best..." or "the most beautiful..." according to someone very few know are difficult terms also for content in articles. Maybe you could specify on the directive like ... that the protagonist of Long Live the Post Horn! fought against the European Union's directive to allow competition for letters weighing less than 50 grams? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paradise Chronicle (talk • contribs) 14:14, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
