[MM-MALTS-L] List Administrator Query

[Ralph Katzenell]

Yo, Peter,

its the Parkkkinnnsonnn's! Half my drams go down the shirt, never mind the typos!

And I suspect you may not have missed too much with the early 105's. In the earlier days of my travelling (late 70's) I used to buy it fairly regularly for my brother, who loved it. He had a whole coterie of fellow schoolteachers that would regularly sneek off and sip the stuff. I always remember it as being on the rough side. High sandpaper quotient. The current offerings seem not so much smoother as, well, a bit less abrasive.
