 Well, I was just trying to help out Stuart, I don't drink scotch myself, and
 didn't realize ice is a faux pas.

Hey, I can assure you that it isn't cold around, but we, too, don't use ice in 
scotch. Now, tell the Scottish they don't need to filter out oils from their 
whisky. Since we all drink it without ice, it won't cloud. ;-)

Happy holidays to all-- whatever the holiday you are celebrating at this

It's really kinda nice that /everybody/ has a holiday around now,
regardless of religion or culture.

It would be nicer if we all could appreciate that as a kind of common
ground across religions and cultures.
