OT: gmane.emacs.help

[Sebastian Tennant]

Hi all,

When I think of this mailing list I dont refer to it as
emacs_help@lists.gnu.org, or whatever it is.  I think of it as
'gmane.emacs.help'.

I'm just wondering something... off topic...

What are Emacs users relationships with alcohol?

Now, given that I think of this as 'gmane.emacs.help', many of you are
probably getting the wrong idea...

I'm just interested, that's all.

If this _really_ isn't the place to ask such a question, where, pray,
should I ask it?

Sebastian

P.S. Please be frank! :-)

I have enough of my own spirit. Why should I make use of the spirit  
filled up as booze into bottles? Isn't it better to give away the  
money saved from not supporting the drugs industry to those that need  
it?

Anyway, the best drugs are those that I produce. Nothing compares to  
my hormones and endorphines.

I wonder whether you have some random signature script thingy...

Many thanks, anyhow

Oops, that follow-up doesn't feel right on readback!

I must be pissed :-)

Guilt is often unnecessary. :-/
