You made a good point about Eric's Netiquette mail. There
was a flap on
the expert list a few weeks back that might have been
nipped in the bud if
they had the same practice. (In the process, some kind of
record must have been
set for the number of times a thread has been hijacked.)

OH MY Deity! Sam Adams? Pilsner Urquell ? Where the devil are you Carroll ?? Jeez ! What ever happened to the "classy" people who drink Sleeman's, or Rickards Red, or Guiness Stout for Pete's sake ! If you keep drinking that stuff, this list will start getting a bad name ! Grin! But on a more serious note, have you noticed that no one has suggested getting together for a "Pub" night? We should consider starting a new tradition of at least one annual Mandrake Newbie List Members "Kegger" ! LOL! I don't know if you folks have it where ever you may be, but there's a group called "Linux Meetup" that runs a site (do a Google on the term ),where anyone can can register, and others in the same area register as well. For each "Meet-Up", one person acts as the host - which essentially means that they pick the location - and everbody goes and socializes.
The groups that usually show up are pretty large. Mozilla had one here ( Montreal, Quebec ) for their "1.0" release party, and Linux groups are always doing the same. The meet-ups are monthly, and you can pre-register, or just show up. There are pages on the site where you can post photo's of the event, and a short description. If you find that there is no meet-up for your city/town, etc., you can start one, and other will join up - just to see what's what.
Now, back to serious stuff. Sam Adams ? Geesh! LOL!
And Carroll, I'm not the new guy here. I already bought, so it's someone else's turn! Didn't you get the invite? Humph! Musta got lost in the mail! Grin!
Of course, all those under the legal drinking age where
ever they are should disregard the content of this post.
Where ever you see the name of an alcoholic beverage,
please substitute the words "Root Beer" .
"Root Beer"? Isn't that even more dangerous than ordinary "user beer"? ;-)
