I was trying to catch you out, but you passed with flying colours.
If one is to top up a 40% proof drinky then one may as well opt
for the cheapest on the off license shelves.
Your editor was once the tech ed on a mag where the reviews bloke
by name of Nobby liked Speyside topped up with Babycham, which is
OK with me, Nobby was the type of bloke who didn't view his day as
complete unless he had a couple of empty bottles to show for it.
His priority was to maintain that fine journalistic tradition of chronic
alcoholism. Your Ed will remember Nobby, though I don't know whats
happened to him, if I could recall his real name I'd google him?
I note your Ed raving about your USB testing, so when are you going to
try a bit of NOS'ing? It's all very well you muddling with Linux - or maybe
you get your rocks off with open source software that never quite
functions correctly? But there is wide world of fun to be had out here
and disabling digital filtering opens up a whole new vista to enjoy.
I currently have a Marantz CD50 (TDA1541) ready to be NOS'd.
I've been trying to catch up with the posts in here, but I think usenet
is on it's last legs and about to kick the bucket any day now? It seems
it is just clusters of nutters now?

I'm sure you say that everytime you attempt installing open source software.

Not so - unless the mixer is designed to obliterate the taste of the
spirit rather than complement it. Certainly the case with a G&T.
BTW, many experience malt whisky drinkers add some water.
