Take a hike, no deal!

I will NOT, under any circumstances, allow some cantankerous blowhard
wannabe Newsgroup Moderator (aka Troll) to tell me how to run my own

(This URL may change soon, I am trying for http://us.pu-erh.net)
The webspace is being donated by Chinese Puer Enthusiasts
(like myself, they don't sell anything)

The beat goes on.
