This is really not a metropolitan region

Whatever quaint notions the SSB might have about what constitutes a metropolitan region, I think Wikipedia is misleading its users by propagation this. This article describes a region that is mostly rural with several settlements or communities and a city of 75,000 people covering an area of 2,909 km². Kristiansand covers less than one tenth of the total area. __meco 08:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Remember, Mandal (ncluded in the list) is located about 40 km west of Kristiansand, and should not be listed as a part of the region. Simenhjort 18:25 31 August 2007 (UCT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simenhjort (talk • contribs) 18:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
