  Dear Mr? capewaterrat, Our apologies about the delayed notification of the end of 2012. We had thought that the end of the Mayan Long Date Cycle calendar would substitute for the usual e-mail notifications. It appears that we were mistaken in this, not least because sales of new Mayan Long Date Cycle calendars have failed to meet expectations. With regard to your file migration, we hope that the upgrade in AvailableDisposableIncome that is associated with discontinuing the use of Tobacco® will compensate for any inconvenience which that might have caused. We are also pleased to advise you that you can...

  Dear Sirs, First, I'd like to thank you for getting back to me so quickly. That kind of support is one of the reasons I've been using your products since the rollout of 1954. Rather than 'Mr.', I generally am referred to by my job title. In the US that's 'Cap'n', though I'm given to understand that in most of the UK the equivalent title is 'Skipper', except for Scotland where it's 'That auld eedjit in the wee boat'. In any event, our IT people have decided to discontinue regular use of Meats® and go over to our own in-house...

  Dear Captain capewaterrat, "Yon auld eejit in the wee boat" is normally only used in cases where the vessel is positively known to be crewed by at most 2 people. In this case "auld eejit" refers to the older crew member, irrespective of their age relative to the speaker. Captain is normally reserved for formal communications with a vessel commander who holds a master's certificate for the relevant class of vessel. Skipper is used in less formal (eg messroom) communications with an individual entitled to be addressed as Captain. Seafood® is an entirely acceptable replacement for the Meats® class within...

  Dear paws & capewaterrat @ 103/104 Indeed, pulses, beans, peas, lentils are entirely satisfactory as food/fuel midules for humans, and some of us have experimented very successfully (dependant upon current edition's "Weather™" of course) in hacking the production processes & manufacturing our own for greater variety. However, there is a significant safety-hazard resulting from either over-use of these magnificent products or of combination ("Superadditivity") with another popular module. Taking the second hazard first, combination of "Pulses" with any significant quantity of Beer® can result in this hazard being manifest. Ditto, as stated above w.r.t. over-consumption. The waste gases produced may...

  Ah- considering the common diet of the region, that goes a long way towards explaining http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_brown_cloud . In a more Western context, with the addition of Cider©, the effects could only be worse. Bad enough that I'm frequently implementing the Cider©, Oysters® and WildMushrooms3™ modules together. Still, given adequate facilities and grant funding, the biofuel possibilities are considerable........
