Hello again. I see my comments caused some response and for the most part it appears positive. I could pick apart other messages like people did to mine, but that's not really why we are here. I grew up in the Star Trek generation so often find guidance and understanding from it. So if you will indulge me for just a minute I am seeing alt.drinks people as being black on the right and white on the left while the PLOWED people are black on the left and white on the right. Obviously if you are not up on your Trek this will sound like nonsense but suffice to say that we are all about the same under the surface.
Unfortunately we do not have the time to wait for our children's children's children to mix up and become gray. When I stated before that we should each stick to our own boards, that was really aimed at the derogatory comments being made and cross posted from both sides.
PLOWED is a small group of whisky enthusiasts that have known each other for several years and get together regularly to indulge in the water of life. If we appear to have our own "lingo" that is primarily to save typing time on chats and is NOT meant as some kind of secret language or code. The PLOWED board is often used more to plan gatherings and help each other locate special bottles of whisky than it is to describe the whisky itself.
I cannot speak for anyone else but I for one am interested in meeting new people and learning more about whisky. Therefore I would like to get involved in the alt.drinks group to learn from them and share whatever knowledge that I can contribute. I only hope that this message is received in the spirit with which it was sent.
Alan
