Re: [MM-MALTS-L] List Administrator QueryHi Lex, all

No Problem, I will keep the Listerserver and the List Active.
Just wanted to know if there still interest on that list, at times of Twitter and others...

 So, The list will stay Online !

Cheers,
Konstantin

  Konstantin, do you think you've got enough 'yes' messages now to keep the list active, even though usage is low? Especially for those who've been part of it for many years, just knowing it's there to get in touch with a bunch of old friends at the click of a mouse is a good thing.

  Hi Dominiek,

  Like you point out, I could/should have known that! However, to my own defense I should remark that I have never been that interested in the history / provenance  of different bottles...I am no collectable-collector, but a drinking fellow, as you very well know! ;-)
  But thanks for the enlightnement (?) anyway!  ;-)

  See, example nr. 2! Konstantin!

  Lurking for years, so please, Konstantin, be the host everyone wants you to be :-).

  Paul, the 40yo 105 was a sort of a hint. As I recall it was bottle to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 105.

  Greetz,
  Dominiek

  There you have it...
  I don't even qualify for a 'near miss' here!  ;-)

  Thanks Luc,  I knew you'd know!
  See, this is the perfect example of the kind of knowledge available here!!
  I doubt very much you would get an correct answer, this fast, anywhere else!

  hi,

  The first Glenfarclas 105 was released in 1968.

  Best regards,

  Hey Peter, and everybody else...
  Yes I agree with the majority of the old warhorses on here: Let it remain
  the parent of all...even if it is rarely used.
  It is still a very valuable knowledge-base  to me, and even if we do not
  post so often, that does not mean it is forgotten.
  I still would rather ask a question that I have here, then anywhere
  else...thing is, not as many questions arise these days anymore. A direct
  consequence of the enthousiasm and knowledge once instilled with the help of
  this list! Let it live and prosper!

  To Peter,
  I am pretty sure the 105 was around before 1993...If memory serves me (a bit
  less then it used to!)  I first bought one in 1991...and I guess they were
  available from the mid-eighties onwards...
  Luc Timmermans 'mr. Glenfarclas' may know the exact period of introduction
  better, Luc??
