- We DO have these - but they are, according to the label,
- actually very finely ground ground coffee. You have to let
- it steep, just as you do a tea bag. And they DO taste
- better than instant.

- MEGAPeeve: One of our newsfeeds has apparently become
- constipated this past week, with the result that one group
- has gone completely silent, and the others are doing things
- like this - this article is dated Monday, November 2, and it
- just showed up TODAY - Sunday, November 8. Worse yet, there
- were at least two followups to it during the week that showed
- up before this original...ARRRGH!
