That's what I wound up doing. I suppose I was just so used to simply
clicking on the URL links that I didn't pay attention. And I sorta figured
I'd warn others from performing the same dumb move.

I had a similar experience on Friday at a local cafe. Ran into friends and
when I peppered my food, found that it had no heat or flavour. So I whipped
out my trusty Uncle Steve's pocket shaker and applied some ground smoked
habanero. When my companions asked what I had - I replied, "Taste your
food. Do you taste any pepper flavour?" When both replied in the negative I
told them that I had found the same an was spicing up my food.
Heh, heh, heh. They went for it and demanded that I share. I *did* warn
them to go lightly on my precious powder. Naturally, they took that as a
signal to do the opposite.
ENJOY!!!
