Hi Linda...I think you're on the dark side of moderate. Don't confuse us with those who like it mild...just a tiny bit of bite on the tongue sends them running for water (since they don't know any better!) We, of the Moderate Corps, love the heat but don't want to succumb to it! A nice glow, a fine warmth, good flavor with a minor jolt at the end. No fainting, no wet pants, no dropping to our knees, no slipping under the table...those activities are reserved for fire-eaters with swollen tongues! No munching on habs but some nibbling on jals! Come join our ranks...you can be the CEO and manage the business end of things, in case we ever get those t-shirts we've been discussing for years! SandyO CH 3 1146 of the moderate persuasion
