Now you claim that the rest of us immoderates don't prefer flavor over heat? Do you realize that when a resistance to capsaicin is achieved that we simply don't particularly feel the heat? That "weak knees, sweaty brows, wet pants, > ring of fire and fainting spells" are pretty much an experience limited to those of a "Moderate" persuasion? Those who indulge in the more robust chiles actually experience more flavor than those too timid to take the plunge... :-) -- =Mark http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens
