I made about 15 bets for the Mets, both on this board and in private e-mail with Board members. Please contact me privately so that I can arrange to send you the bottle of Clos Rougeard.On an another subject: is it true that many wine collectors are also gun collectors? I heard this on one of the other wine boards. There's so many these days, you need a scorecard....

Although doesn't gun talk on a wine board threaten to veer into online onanism territory?
I can't agree with you more.
With the recent explosion of internet wine web venues, I have bought a 21 inch monitor so that I can have several of them running similtaneously on my screen. This way, for instance, I can monitor serial posters on several boards and the subsequent flow of discussion in each respective constitutency, making pithy and serious replies to their contentions. I have also installed a voice command system so that when I say "Asylum" my brower automatically comes here and sets up a properly sized window that leaves space for the five other boards where I play an active role. Then I say Westcoast and up comes that forum, etc. I think I'm on to something here. There are charges in the off-line wine community that those of us in the on-line community have too much time on their hands. Frankly, I don't think this is the case -- we simply sleep less than they do.
vertical tasting compliant now!!nice to read in portrait mode.
I'm impressed with your technical ability and financial wherewithal to pursue it! I'm sitting here with my Mac+ and a bunch of floppy discs dreaming about a computer with a color screen and a modem faster than the 2400 baud I'm using now. All the wine sites (except Wine Asylum) are running so many banner ads these days that it takes about 20 minutes for them to load. It's rarely worth it.That voice recognition stuff sounds like a good idea- maybe I should try to train my dog to do that first to see if I like it before I try it on a computer.

Your approach promises tremendous advances in the Social Anthropology of Wine Boards. It reveals serious limitations in the Single Board Observation Method - which now seems like looking through the wrong end of a telescope.I commend you for recognizing the potential available through the combination of these technologies.
If you do hire that Statistician it looks like you may have some work for him to do.
for a small fee. I now feel as if I'm from the 16th century, working without voice activated software and a laptop screen. What is onanism? I've run into this word a couple of times today and do not know what it means, although I do know many other SAT words.cheers.

You should at least hire yourself out - though I understand the pay is the same?Onan, wasn't he the guy who spilled his seed on the ground, someone else got embarrassed, there was trouble... are you in the bible belt?
Onanism means not planting your seeds, letting them go to waste.
