So I guess I shouldn’t tell you where I live then... I’ve got Hibiki 12, 17, 21, 30, and 35 (plus I’ve got 350ml each of the five Whiskeys that are blended together to make Hibiki 17 that I got at the Suntory distillery outside Osaka).

Are we still on for the Halloween party at your place? I’ll bring a tray from the local mission taqueria.

My insurance agent thought I was crazy for wanting to itemize my liquor collection on my policy until I showed receipts for what it was worth. Insane as it sounds, just what I listed above is about the price of a new BMW (if everything was unopened that is) and that’s only a fraction of my full collection.

Good to hear you’re drinking it. What other rare bottles are in the collection?

Let’s chat outside HN if you want to know (see profile), don’t want to tangent any further than I have on this thread.

You live in Japan. In the respect of your privacy, I will not share your exact location here

Nope, but have traveled there multiple times.

> In the respect of your privacy, I will not share your exact location here

1) if you knew my exact location, you wouldn’t have made the claim I live in Japan.

2) the tone definitely feels creepy, even if you were trying to cover yourself by implying you were doing the honorable thing.

Impossible to get the "exact" tone via text.

Somewhat true, but re-read your statement again. When you don’t know me (or really anything about me), why would you imply you know my exact location and the only reason you didn’t share it was because of respecting my privacy? Your first sentence was fine (although factually incorrect), but I feel many who read your second sentence would find it to have a bit of a creepy tone (possibly why it was downvoted, but who knows what actually goes through someone’s mind who downvotes w/o commenting).

I'm sorry about that

The Japanese solved this problem. :)
