***Editor’s Comment: I’m pretty sure they were referring to their own website, not ours.

****Editor’s Comment: That isn’t correct! I only visited it twice and only to confirm it was spam.

*****Editor’s Comment: The Society of Beer Drinking Women didn’t ask that but many people have. Most enquiries are from nice people who we know will never meet the crankiness criteria. The truth is we really wouldn’t want anyone in our club that would want to join a club like ours.

******Editor’s Comment: Not really, the reviewers just drink beer and ramble on about whatever comes to mind and hope someone sends them a freebie. But we do enjoy reading your ramblings.
