yow

Not that it's really important, but I notice that M-x yow
always returns the same quotation. Is that a bug, or am
I doing it wrong?

You're lucky you didn't get both the logs from the debugging
runs from my latest number-crunching code, and also some
veeeeery off-topic statements destined for IRC.

I need to work out which window's which, and when I've done
that, I'll get the post to the right newsgroup.

Sorry!

Saaremaa Tume, Left Hand Milk Stout,

Coincidentally, I bought one of those recently. Haven't opened it yet;
I've been drinking bocks lately, of course. What's it like? Does it
really taste of milk?

No, at home. I don't drink and drive, and I'd have to to get home.

Not at all. The 'milk' in the name is because some of the
fermentable sugars in the wort were lactose. Normal brewing
yeast can't ferment that, so it remains in the final beer.

I see.

Is it possible to get more OT?

Yes (though, admittedly, not much): beer is good for when the
programming has got too much to handle :-)
