(Disclaimer:  This potential thread is partly serious  -- but mostly for fun.)

I just sent out a Email to Kristopher (Re: Taste Buds) in which I referred to
CH alarm ratings.   But I realize that it may have been rather subjective.
There has been some recent references to CH alarm ratings.  I don't know if
there has been a previous thread to the subject, but I would be interested in
the personal opinions of CHs as to:

1) What they consider the various alarm levels to be (include examples).

2) And what is your own typical preference/range.

3)  Also, is 5-alarm the absolute limit? --as implied by some messages.

4)  If so, what about the really serious chile-off's? -- is there an extended
range for this situation?
     (I did mean "chile" - as in pepper.)

(For the math types:  this input will help me determine if I am at the -1, +0,
+1, or +2 sigma point, chili-head speaking.)
