Oyez Oyez! Moira is back. This is a good thing, except that in her absence she seems to have developed a bias against coffee.

Moira, coffee is what it is, and all of us must learn to accept coffee as it is. It comes from a culture in which coffee stains are marks of honor. Thus, to complain of coffee stained reports merely shows your Western cultural bias. And besides, I am sure that each of those stained reports (or their authors, or perhaps their author's second cousins by marriage on their mother's side) did something, sometime to deserve their stains. I mean, coffee stains don't just happen, they happen for a reason. If we, as Americans, could all just discover that reason and learn to get along with coffee in peace and harmony, I, for one, am convinced that coffee stained reports would quickly become a thing of the past.
