Merry, I think you are correct. You can contact the committee, but I have one request: That Catman be delegated to serve the "pre-during-post-discussion" mai-tai's, pina coladas, MacAllan Scotch, your choice of excellent beer and ale, and my choice of Cubanos. Provided, of course, that Catman secures a "new" Hawaiian Shirt.

Jaws: The new Hawaiian shirt is an excellent idea. I am a little concerned about the drinks though - Catman will need a supply of Pepsi and Sam Adams.
Nick

PS: I am very impressed by the was you have focused on Catman in you last post - thus ensuring you do not receive an 'Omni warning' from him (note how Catman never minds Omni when it is about him!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ).

Nick, Please excuse my use of Texan about the drinks. Those drinks are for you and I and to be served by Catman. The Cat will have to secure his own Pepsi and Sam Adams.

THIS IS CMDR CATCOP. THOSE LAST FEW POSTING MAY BE ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND CATMAN BUT GET BACK ON THE TOPIC OF ELTCS!!!

CATMAN SAYS IF YOU GUYS WANT HIM TO GET A NEW HAWAIANN SHIRT BUY ONE FOR HIM (PREFERTABLE ONE THAT TOM SELLECK WORE IN "MAGNUM P.I!")

CMDR CATCOP FOR..

as I had no idea what ELTC's is/was, I didn't look at this topic, and missed the discussion about the CERN and MY COUNTRIE'S PART.

I know now the different OPINIONS/INTERPRETATIONS about the "invention" of the internet - but I still only have a small idea about ELTC's. I guess it is an upgrade voucher for use in the US only (as the 500 miles-vouchers with UA?: those were first also only returnable/changable into ff-miles for overseas members, but UA changed that US-member-"discriminating"-policy about 2-3 years ago).

... and, yes BlondeBomber Switzerland is not (yet) part of the EC - we are not even a member of the UN (but we pay more per head to them then most other countries, if not all) - BUT AT LEAST ONE SWISS IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THIS FLYERTALKBOARD.

Merry: I am looking forward for my "juge-arbitre"-role in boxing-matches and Internet-discussion-rounds and chocolate- and (smuggled) cuban-cigar-tastings and men's beauty-contest between JAWS and CatMan, etc. etc. etc. We Swiss know to play that referee-role very neutral and to our profit (we only give up our neutrality seconds before the definite winner is knwon - and we pretend afterwards that we were on his side from the start).

THANK YOU RUDI FOR AT LEAST STICKING TO THE TOPIC OF ELTC'S (which I too did not know or heard of before reading this board.)

OMNI: I"m being drafted for everything... I thought I was too old for combat! But I will say that everyone's a winner because we are all friends (I don't care if I win anything except Yaz winning the cat show this weekend!)

NOW GET BACK ON TOPIC OR SIR EDWIN LANDSEER WILL COME VISIT AND SCRATCH YOU!!!
