Me too, for sure. 

Brian, can you tell us the exact time you sent that historic message, and 
the time of the first reply? I will have a wee dram on both occasions, and I 
encourage LUGgers worldwide to do something similar.

I realize that this might mean having to have a Lagavulin for breakfast, but 
(a) April 7th is a Saturday, and (b) non-alcoholic toasts are OK too, it is 
the spirit and not the liquid that counts (pun intended :-))

Cheers,
Nathan
