The Chiff & Fipple Milliposters Foundation would like to welcome our thirty-fifth member, PhilO. PhilO has been a member of the Chiff & Fipple organization for a good long time, and we cordially welcome him to join us in the Frequent Posters’ Lounge.
ErikT was supposed to deliver the key, however, he is presently traveling, and could not do the honors, so Jerry Freeman and Peter Laban have been asked to present the key, in his stead… uh… well… I was supposed to have asked them.
Congratulations, Phil!!
P.S. Does Dale really go through all your posts at Christmas time and delete all the fluff, or did Bloomfield lie to me?
Hey-- I thought I was supposed to carve a wooden key!
Thank you Walden, an honor indeed! Let’s see where was I…accidentals? What the heck does Grey mean, somebody hit the wrong note or what? Hmmm…
Cran - you mean Dale goes through just my stuff? Oh well, I’ve got reserve fluff. And you should know better than to listen to Bloomfield 
Paul - You already made me the best possible key - in Bocote!
A happy healthy holiday season to all.
Best,
PhilO
Congratulations, Phil! Be sure to bring the whole collection to the F.P. Lounge. I’m trying out Copelands and would like to sample yours. I’m usually in the jacuzzi.
P.S. - we knew this was inevitable when you became a member of the Busking Scofflaws. Now we just have to work on Tom D. to get his post count up. We could use a good chef at the F.P.L.
I worry about me. I thought this thread had something to do with pretending to play whistles, a la Milli-Vanilla.

Hey Walden, shouldn’t that be KiloPhilO and the Kilo posters club?..
There are exceptions, but in most cases “mille” is used for thousandths (milliliter, milligram, millimeter, milliamp, etc) and kilo for thousands (kilogram, kilometer, kilohm, kiliwatt, etc) – unless of course you’re playing the game Mille Bournes.
That’s why we had Y2K a few years ago instead of Y2M 
John, who posted this primarily to inch a little closer to that worthy goal, whatever you may choose to call it…
Hey, that looks an awful lot like fluff. Where are the fluff police when you need them! 
I reckon I was thinking of millipedes, and the general Latin word, rather than metrics.
You are correct in your basic assumption. In the measurements I do I frequently refer to 0.001 inch as “One Thou” or “A Thou” so although you are correct it could be warped just enough to apply.
Ahh, but does it smell like fluff? … Taste like fluff?
I dare say that the fluff police are hiding because they fear to apply those tests… 
Uh, that is exactly what I thought, also. I clicked on the thread expecting some huge whistle-world scandal. 
All the Best, Tom
FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF!!!
(Sigh, still not quite to 400…)
