personally, i drift back and forth as to my tolerance, if not just
"liking" of chiles...if one is slamming down 3 meals a day, all chile
influenced foods, and chasing it with habanero chocolate milkshakes,
well, one's tolerance is gonna be pretty durn high...on the other
hand, if you simply enjoy the "occassional" (define that as you
desire) hot meal, one's tolerance is gonna be lower...
regardless of one's Level of Tolerance, as long as ya respect El
Chile, bow down to El Grande, and ain't a genetic engineer (sorry,
couldn't resist <g>), you are as much a CH as anyone...

or buy seedlings, as you mentioned <g>...

"A Monsanto official told the New York Times, October 25, 1998, that
the corporation should not have to take responsibility for the safety
of its food products. "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the
safety of biotech food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of
corporate communications. "Our interest is in selling as much of it
as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job."
