Dear Anon,

thank you best for information. This is great. I don't drink alcohol,
only a few times a year, and not very much.
Maybe on my birthday, Eastern, at Christmas time, sylvester, eg.
with best shelling greetings

Actually, Helmut, there was a study done. At the University of Northern
Nevada: Angst, Gilmore, and Fosdick showed that Malacolgists smoked 2.45
times as many cigars as did butterfly collectors. The A,G,&F study went
on to place other collectors as well, and also concerned their alcohol
consumption.

COLLECTOR        CIGARS INDEX    ALCOHOL INDEX
Stamps                  1.7             2.63
