    NB>> I thought the chance to try it out was being put forth as the   
    NB>> excuse...   
      
    MK> I suppose that could work if I don't come up with something better   
    MK> before the next trip to town.  Then again the price will have to be   
    MK> right and as of this date I am unsure.    
      
   If the price is high, one needs a better excuse than if it is easily   
   affordable...  ;)   
      
    NB>> Celebrating Canada's 150th year with a Canadian single malt...?   
      
    MK> Except that was July 1st, 2017.  For the record I didn't celebrate it,   
    MK> along with many other Canadians.  When it comes to flagwaving we're   
    MK> not all that good about celebrations ...   
      
   That was the actual "birthdate"... but the year continues through until   
   July 1st, 2018...  :)  We don't do celebrations all that much ourselves,   
   though we did pick up a couple of things during our bicentennial year,   
   just for the fun of it...  :)   
      
    MK> unless of course there is a   
    MK> hockey championship of some sort at stake.  Speaking of which, I   
    MK> watched the women's Olympic gold medal game where your women stole the   
    MK> gold from our women and broke a 20 year tradition.  :::sigh:::    
      
   I didn't watch it... but heard that it was a close game, IIRC....    
      
    NB>> Just have to get some people to join your bandwagon to get it off   
    NB>> the ground in the first place... ;)   
      
    MK> Not counting Fidonet, that officially happened sometime back in   
    MK> 2002-ish.  As per usual the powers that be in Fidonet are decades out   
    MK> of step ... if indeed they ever knew an honest standard even if it   
    MK> whacks them across the side of the head with a two by four.    
    MK> :::snicker:::    
    MK> Oh well ... we'll carry on no matter what.  Right?  ;-)   
      
   That's been my policy all along..  ;)
