Ha! My palate proved to be right!
No. I didn't know about it. I thought Nilgiri is just another black tea. Like Assam, Ceylon, etc.

It is a well known problem today.
Corporations loose lots of money because their staff spend half of their paid time on the Internet. It is going to get only tougher.

In my DH's college they publish monthly a list of top 50? members who visit sites not associated with their work. They don't remote, they have statistics from a firewall (Baracuda?) or a proxy with special s/w that reports usernames and sites visited.

It really did a number on my stomach, but then, we were living on a fast food diet doing 12 hour shifts (often double shifts as team members were injured and we had to cover,) under a constant threat of extreme violence. None of that was really good for my body...
What on the Earth have you been doing?



After later lunch Pu-Erh aged.
