Now then, what's the procedure for claiming the prize from behind
curtain No.3? If I have to sit through a timeshare presentation first,
or flights, batteries or whatever are not included, I decline it and
would prefer you to give it to charity :-)

Seriously, thanks for the heads up on my error, I am fortunate that it
was an error of fact not of principle and did not significantly affect
the validity of my argument and advice.

Whats the weather like with you at the moment and how long is your
boating season? We are very much out of season here, with the London
Boat Show in progress, though some hardy souls including a few members
of my Dinghy club are still racing. Its raining, Its windy and its
fairly cold.

Well Ian, the prize isn't really worth all that much for Curtain No. 3
this time. "Free cup of alaskan brewed coffee at the Trading Post's
Pickle Barrel Stove checker table." (www.99850.net) We have a few
folks steaming about around here but mostly they are waiting for Tanner
Crab Season to open in about three weeks. Season usually lasts about 10
days, but I get a "Healthy Crab (King Crab) Tax" for letting some of the
guys stage their pots on the Cannery Dock, prior to Season Openings.
Now that makes for good eating, when the crab are fresh out of the
seawater, and hot out of the steamcooker.

Not a big error, just a friendly correction, and your absolutly right
that it didn't effect the comments you made in any practical way.

If you ever get over here to alaska, on Holiday or whatever and happen
to stop by, the coffe will be waiting, and maybe a 5# baggie of Frozen
Crab, if thewre is any left after my brother stops by.
